Icon won't load in IE

Please Help

This is the code I use to display my icon but, it doesn't appear in Internet Explorer. Mozilla displays it fine. What can I do to fix this?

<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="/icon.ico">

Hi,
not sure, but I think IE is looking for favicon.ico. Try renaming it and see if that works?

favicons will not show in IE unless the URL is bookmarked. btw for it to work make sure the icon is 16x16.

it's just a screwed up issue with msie i think. usually u can get it to display my dragging the default icon in the address bar a lil and dropping it back on itself a few times.

I read somewhere here that it was best to include two formats for the favicon link. So that's what I do. Whether it helps or not, who knows?

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/ico" href="/favicon.ico" />
