Favicon's in a SharePoint 2007


There are many ways to add Favicons in the sharepoint , one of the way you can do that is by changing the Default Master Page. Follow this link to the guide on doing this.

Another way, is to add the Favicons, to the root directory of your website. e.g. in the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80 , where this is the virtual directories of the 80.

For some sharepoint website that you have difficulty in doing the above, another way is to changed the default.asp of your sharepoint which is not recommended.
To changed the page , goto C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates\PMD . where the PMD is my directory website that i want to add the favicons. e.g. www.test.com/PMD

Backup the default.aspx and add the following in the asp:content contentplaceholderid="PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead" after the script tag and put the favicon image into your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\PMD\IMAGES


link rel="icon" href="/_Layouts/PMD/Images/favicon.ico" type="image/png">
link rel="shortcut icon" href="/_Layouts/PMD/Images/favicon.ico" type="image/png">
