HTML Favicon.ico won't show on Google Chrome

I am making a HTML page and one of the things I wanted was a favicon appearing next to the title.

I'm using Google Chrome, I see favicons working on other websites, but the favicon on my website won't show up. The site is in a folder on my desktop named site.

The favicon.ico file is 16x16, and I used an online generator to make it.

This is the code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html> 
    <head>
        <title></title>
        <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
</html>

It doesn't look like Chrome allows you to display the favicon in the address bar...

I've also seen it done like this. Don't know if it would make a difference or not.

<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
