If you're fighting to get your Favicon to work in an Addon Domain:
I battled with getting IE to recognize my favicon and in the end I changed the link rel that I put into the <head> </head> into this format:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" REF="http://www.topdomain.com/subdomain folder/favicon.ico">
as the domains I wanted it to appear in were addon domains within my Voda account - it then worked no problem.
Firefox of course picked it up immediately even without the Link Rel!

Also: I'm using includes for my header banner&navigation, side menu and footer and found all I had to do was put the <Link Rel in the header banner code and so didn't need to add it into all 200 or so pages on the site as this code is included in all pages.

What would we do without Microsoft to keep us busy?!
