There are three ways to set the favicon for a TW file: * Use an icon file called "favicon.ico" in the same folder as the TiddlyWiki HTML file. This is the only technique suffers from the problem of having to share the same icon between all files in the same folder * Use separate icon files for each TW file, linking them using the <link> tag as described by Ton * Within each wiki, import a tiddler containing the favicon image, with the title $:/favicon.ico I'd recommend the latter technique wherever possible as it keeps everything neatly in the single file.
