Hey guys, very new to this, I have a question about Favicons.

I am working on a network at work and I used Microsoft Word to create a simple directory webpage. I am trying to add a favicon so people can see it when adding as a favorite.

So far I have tried almost everything, the root directory and html code.

the folder is in p\.....\admin\main.htm

I put the favicon in the admin folder hoping that would do it by itself, and the favicon is named favicon.ico but when I save it as a bookmark it does nothing.

Then when I try the HTML code
<link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="file:///\\p\"...\admin\favicon.ico"> it recognizes it and changes the icon to the icon that is used when a certain file doesn't have a specific program to open with! I have no idea what is going on and I am very new to HTML but i put it in the header section and i just dont understand! All other examples have web addresses and http://, but I do not have that. Any suggestions?
