cannot change favicon.ico in MS internet explorer

Hallo,

I'm using the JP-Ultimate template and cannot change the root/templates/jp-ultimate/favicon.ico file.
That means, when i replace it the icon changes in every browser except the MS internet explorer, there the Joomla icon keeps appearing. Only when i delete the favicon.ico file and don't replace it with anything, the IE-icon appears?

On another template from JoomlaPLates i've read something like to add :
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico">
but I don't know in which file?

Furthermore, when i select the protostar template the icon changes also in "Bill Gates his browser" so.........it's a combination of MS IE and the JP-Ultimate template i guess. Of course i deleted constantly the cache of all browsers.

Someone any ideas?

Hi there,
strange thing, but i dont think its a template problem, because the favicon is always included and dont need an extra line:
See image attached.



1.) Goto your website
2.) Right click your mouse
3.) Show source code
4.) Click the favicon link as show above
5.) Now you have to see the favicon which is attached to your template

Hallo,

First of all, thnx for your reply................................
Is still think it's an issue between the template and Bill Gates 's browser.....see the attached image (in yellow).
On the left the source code with Firefox, on the right the source code with IE11, they are equal.

Again, both browsers have cleared cache and reside at the same time on the same machine (windows 8.1)
The site (10.10.10.1/tornanti) resides on an internal webserver, not equal to this local machine.

Stil, the favicon.ico is shown on Opera,Firefox and Chrome but not with IE.......Even at my work, the same situation.
So if you have another suggestion, it's more than welcome.

Best regards,
Leon
