Favicon document links are broken...

Help, the links are broken

Necessary HTML code not found

You say:

«Insert the necessary HTML code inside the <head> section of your document to display a distinguishing icon for the web page in the Favorites menu ...»

After download, I can't get  "the necessary HTML code"; I found only an .mxp file and I am unable to open it.

Help needed please.

Thanks.

You need the Macromedia Extension Manager to install the .mxp and then you can use the command from Dreamweaver.
