Default favicon.ico
Does anyone know how a browser displays the "favicon". Is it controlled by a x-cart template? if so which one? Or would I just place the icon in the root folder of my site?

You would just place it in the root folder.

To be safe, you should also add this line to customer/home.tpl in the head:

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

Most of browsers try to load favicon.ico automatically from the root.

How did you create the .ico file? You can't just use a .jpg or .gif....

Now I have a new problem, it seems the previous person wrote an if/else reguarding what favicon to view depending on if you are on the admin or customer side. Would this code be on the home.tpl?
