How to Add a Shortcut Icon to your SharePoint Site



Do you want to add a custom shortcut icon (aka favicon) to your SharePoint shortcuts? Just follow these simple instructions.


1) Create an icon file. 
     a) Edit an image file in MS Paint
     b) Resize the image to 16x16
     c) Save the image as an .ICO file

2) Upload your ICO file to document or image library in your SharePoint site.

3) Edit your Master Page using SharePoint Designer.

4) Locate the following code:
    <head runat="server">

5) Add the following code after the line above:
    <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="<URL TO YOUR ICO FILE>" />

    Example: <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/1stmlg/home/Images/usmc.ico" />

6) Save your changes. Your new shortcut icon will now appear for all pages that use your Master Page.

Cheers!
