Thanks Jeffrey, I put my favicon.ico where you suggested and made this my sole favicon file. I did keep
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico"/> in the HTML of my base page in the hope that Microsoft will make Internet Explorer 8 or above able to read the favicon in the future. Mozilla Firefox 12.0 reads this fine. I see that IE8 may require an href starting "http://www."; for it to show the favicon. If so, to this requirement I shall not bow.
