hi all,
im doing a project which uses frontpage. i have finished compiling all the htm extension itno exe for installation etc.. the starting page, i named it as start.htm.
i have create a personal icon, named cp.ico. I was wandering if i can change the start.htm icon (IE Icon) into my personal (cp.ico). So that when user clicked on my personal (cp.ico)..they will be able to view my starting page using internet explorer..
i hope to get some suggustion, thanks :)

Publish the icon into the root directory of your web site
Help the browser find your icon by including in the html, somewhere between the <head> and </head> tags, the following:

Code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.your-web-site-name.com/favicon.ico">

If it's going to run locally, then put the *.ico file in the same root directory as the rest of the HTML pages, and insert this code into the HTML pages. By the way, you need to rename the icon file, to favicon.ico

HTML Code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"

Good luck!
