Thanks and regards,
TestPoint.

Make a favicon.ico from here: http://www.webscriptlab.com/favicongenerator.php

and upload this to your root of your forum.

Now Go to: ACP > Templates > Ungrouped Templates > headerinclude > and find;
{$stylesheets}

and add the following code just after that;
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />

Thank you very much Smile

But I'm not able to find: Ungrouped Templates > headerinclude.
Could u please explain little more?
Thanks Blush
That icon is called a "favicon" (short for "favorites icon"). All it is is a 16x16 image turned into an icon and uploaded to the root.

You can make a favicon two ways. The easy way is to search around for favicon-making sites like http://www.favicon.cc/. You can also make the icon in an image-editing software like GIMP or Photoshop. Then once it's made, go here to format a .ico file.

Hope this helped. Oh, and you can also use a plugin that you simply link to the path. Smile
or you can just use this plugin which does it automatically:
