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! 5 1810

In other words, you want a web page to be able to write files on the
user's machine. This is not allowed, for obvious reasons.
You can prompt the user to add your site to Favorites: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms535926.aspx

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925

Hi and thanks. I tried this and it still isn't showing up. Do I need to
delete my browser cache or something?

Really? ;-)

Actually, what I wanted to do was prompt the user, then if they accept, have
them run a script of some sort (perhaps a MSI script) that would place an
Internet Shortcut on their desktop to my website with my icon and company
name.

You can of course have a link pointing to an MSI or EXE file that can do
pretty much whatever you want. The user will be prompted with a standard
security dialog before they can run it.

If you are using a modern browser, it should show up right away. If you
are using IE6 and older, then you have to save to favorites, and then it
_should_ show up. My suggestion is to get a better browser.

Using IE7. It finally did show up after I deleted my history, cookies, and
temporary internet files.
