Place the favicon.ico in the Joomla root directory and add these lines to rt_head_includes.php (or index.php if you use an old template):
<link href="/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href=" yoursite.com/favicon.ico " type="image/x-icon" />
If you have favicons located elsewhere, delete them and their code references.
Still doesn't show up? Clear cache and delete all temporary files and do a refresh in your browser.
If this doesn't work in IE then please check that the favicon is a valid Windows icon. - Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.
A template is only as good as the content that goes into it

You can also use this extension:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/3343/details
As prim suggested, you will also have to see for this:
If you have favicons located elsewhere, delete them and their code references.
Still doesn't show up? Clear cache and delete all temporary files and do a refresh in your browser. - Quick tips::

<link href="/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />

Exactly where in the rt_head_includes.php should these lines be added?
