Hi

In IE you can right click on the page and then choose Create Shortcut which then places an Icon on your desktop that links to the webpage.

How do you set it so that when someone does this it creats a predefined(custom) icon on the users desktop rather than the standard windows defaut.

Kind Regards

Walker

You define an icon called favicon.ico

Search for irfanview it exports to .ico and helps you to design the graphic needed.

Make sure to keep the graphic at 16x16 pixels also.

There's a great body of knowledge right here about favicon - mostly in our Graphics forum. A google search on "favicon site:webmasterworld" will turn up hundreds of results for you.
