favicon.ico

[Ian Stephen]

Seems this doesn't work anymore with IE 5 or 6.  I've tried both the
favicon.ico in DOCROOT and the <link bla, bla> way with IE 5 & Win95 and
IE 6 & Win98 using the specified 16x16 icon.  I get no little image,
just the "e".

Guess M$ only likes to have their logo on IE address bars. :-(
