Why do you use absolute link for icon ?

Try this:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/myicon.ico" />

Are you trying to put the icon on a link to a web page, or download the icon to the user's computer?

To use the icon as a button to link to a website, do this:

<a href="website.htm"><img src="pic.ico" /></a>

the file is not an icon i have downloaded it and checked it.

use a converter such as http://www.favicon.co.uk/ to convert an image file such as a gif into an icon this will then work.
