Hi.

Have installed Node-red on a windows macine.  
Trying for example to change the favicon. No problen on linux but can´t get it to work in windows.

Have edited this in settings.js  
favicon: "C:\Users\Admin\.node-red\favicon.ico",

Do i need to change something else?  
also tried to chande httpStatic: 'C:\Users\Admin\.node-red',

any idéa?

Regards Niclas

Try changing the path to use `/` rather than `\`:

```auto
"C:/Users/Admin/.node-red/favicon.ico"

```

Works better!! But it only worked in the workspace. Not in the dashboard.  
Is it possible to also set favicon i dashboard?

The dashboard picks up its icons from it's /dist folder typically `.node-red/node_modules/node-red-dashboard/dist` - but it will get overwritten if/when you upgrade versions
