Icon display?
OK, I know this isn't an ASP question. But I'm hoping someone here knows the
answer. How do I get *my* icon to display in the address bar instead of the standard browser's icon, like e.g. on the MSDN website? Also, I'd like to add a link to create a desktop shortcut to my website using said icon. Anyone? Thanks! Ron Hinds <bi***@microsoft.com> wrote:
