Currently I'm using this bit of code to add a favicon to a website:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://www.mysite.co.uk/images/favicon/favicon1.ico" />

However, this code must be added to each HTML page. Does anyone know how to set a global favicon?

Everywhere I've looked tells me I must add it to each page.

UPDATE:

Chrome searches for a favicon.ico file in the root directory.

Firefox needs this on each page:

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon.png" />
html favicon
