Another Tasty Tweak (sort of) Site FAVICON

OK - I have to ask for help now...I was stoked to be building my new website in Xara, and one of the (many) reasons was that I was never able to get the favicon to work on my old site (built in dreamweaver). I followed all kinds of instructions, and it never worked.
So now I've built a new site in Xara, and with tips like this thread, I thought it would be a no-brainer - but it looks like I may be sub-no-brainer on this...
I've attached some images showing what I've done (made a 16x16 icon in icofx (if I remember correctly), put the placeholder on my index page, placed the icon in both the public.html, as well as the index_htm_files (just to ensure I had my bases covered). And now I've waited for 4 days (as I see some have had delays in the favicon showing), and still nothing.

What am I missing? Any ideas are most welcome.

Thanks!

Your profile indicates you are using Designer Pro 7?
In this case this tweak is no longer valid or necessary.
DP7 has a built-in favicon feature. Simply name any graphic 'favicon'. Xara does the rest
