2. Copy your favicon.ico file into your shop's "Runtime" folder

- Open Windows Explorer. Or right-click the Windows "Start" button and click "Explore" to open your Windows Explorer and go to your shop-folder.
- By default, your shop folder should be in "My Documents\ShopFactory V14 Websites" directory. When you are at "ShopFactory V14 Websites" folder, locate your shop-folder.
- Double-click on that shop-folder to open it
- Locate the RUNTIME folder and double-click on it
- Copy the favicon.ico file
- Once you have copied the favicon file, proceed to item #3 below.
3. Add the favicon link tag to the <head> element
In ShopFactory, Google Analytics dialog box uses the <head> element so this is where you need to add the favicon link tag.
Note: You can add any custom html in this GA code window, where, the custom html code must be added within the <head> section for all pages. (This window is not solely for Google Analytics code.) You can add any html code that needs to be added within <HEAD> section.
- Open your shop in ShopFactory
- At the left tree menu, click on ShopFactory Central page (if you’re not already there)
- Click on "Search Engine Optimization (SEO)" button
- At the popup window, select Website Analytics -> and click inside the "Google Analytics code" box

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
Note: If you have an existing Google Analytics code in there, make sure you add the favicon link tag below the existing html code to ensure you don't break the existing Google Analytics code in there.
