I used "redside" style-sheet (visual interdev 6)
Where should I put the line+what should I do:
<link rel="shortcut icon" HREF="images/icon.ico">
If I want all my current pages to get the setting
As Stefan stated; you cannot place HTML markup within a CSS file, a far better task would have been to look where Micro$oft have placed their DTD reference on their main page, whoops they seem to have forgot that minor detail.
If you want to see where I have placed my address bar icon on my beta site: http://www.xhtmlcoder.com/worthvalley/ then you are welcome, but remember Micro$oft IE probably won't display the file you'd have to use a more "web standards" compliant browser like Mozilla or Opera 7.0.
I also forgot to mention you could use the server to push the icon rather than define it within the HTML.

Excuse me providing the solution that will work in all favicon capable browsers, not just MS IE (which automatically spams requests to every server it visits about a favicon, even if noone exsists).
You are wrong...
Perhaps you should bother to at least TRY THE CODE, before you state I'm wrong?

That was in reply to your "can I place it in the CSS file".
Never the less I am still right, it MUST go into the HTML file. The way you get the favicon in some browsers anyway (even if it's not in the HTML) is as I have already stated, they randomly spam the visted webserver for an iconfile, even if one is not specified ANYWHERE in the webpage files.
Theoretically if you place a file expressively called: "favicon.ico" of the type "image/x-icon" within your root directory of your site Micro$oft IE 6.0 will use that if you don't use the (X)HTML link method. It's just one of the many design faults of Micro$oft IE.
