----- Original Message ----- From: "Phill Sparks" I'd have to agree with James, some clients only check to see if the file is there by trying to load it. No form of scanning is performed. I've not used IE for ages, only for testing so I'm not sure if favicons actually load in the address bar. I know it didn't for me, but it did find the favicon when i bookmarked the page in IE; which is actually the purpose of a favourite icon (hense the name).
