Create a transparent GIF
Generate the favicon (here: http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/ or here: http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/ )
Save the favicon.ico file to your website’s root folder

What to do when IIS gives 404 for an existing file:

brunomiguellopes — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 18:10:18 +0000

Should a file exist on the directory served by IIS, but the server refuses to send the file, it can be that the file extension has no MIME set on the server.

The solution requires one to go to the properties of the website, HTTP Headers pane, MIME Types and add the extension and mime type.

For a .mp4 file the mime type should be video/mp4.
