    Default Icon for Desktop Shortcut

    I would like have the HTML code for my web pages that will put my tiger icon on my page shortcuts that I save to my desktop. I believe its an attribute in the body tag such as:
    <body logo=""> or something like that.

    When I put a web page shortcut on my desktop an icon for that page appears above the name. I can not find the correct tags by code sourcing a web page that does that. When I save this page to my desktop an icon displays above the name. Please help.

    Thanks
    Walt

    Thanks Nile
    So far it does not work. I change any web page from Firefox to IE and then create a shortcut on my desktop. The favicon of the Dynamic Drive Forum page appears on my desktop. I would like my favicon for my pages to appear on my desktop.

    Here is my code
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Camel Jockeys</title>

    <link rel='shortcut icon' href='/favicon.ico' /> <---IS THIS CODE CORRECT?
    </head>

    Here is the address of my favicon

    http://wallythekat.tripod.com/favicon.ico

    It appears on my address bar but not on my desktop.
    Please help
