I resolved this issue.

Internet explorer seems to accept only FAVICON.ico in the root directory of your website.

this is the code I've used:
```
function fav_scripts() {
	global $siteurl;
	if (empty($siteurl)) $siteurl = get_settings('siteurl');
	$favurl = $siteurl.'/'.'';

	echo '

		<link rel="shortcut icon" href="'.$favurl.'favicon.ico" />

	' ;

	}

	add_action('wp_head', 'fav_scripts');
```
plus:

I have converted my FAV icon from a .png to a .ico file using this useful online tool:

http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/

try to take a look at my under developement website:

altamente decorativo/

It works both in IE and Firefox

Hope it helps!

I've noticed that now favicon is shown also in the dashboard page.

Yes, IE search for favicon.ico in root directory.

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
