We use the following code to add icons for favicon, tablets, smartphones, windows 8 tiles and the like:-<link rel=apple-touch-icon href=apple-touch-icon.png><link rel=shortcut icon type=image/x-icon href=/favicon.ico/><link rel=apple-touch-icon-precomposed sizes=144x144 href=apple-touch-icon-144x144-precomposed.png><link rel=apple-touch-icon-precomposed sizes=114x114 href=apple-touch-icon-114x114-precomposed.png><link rel=apple-touch-icon-precomposed sizes=72x72 href=apple-touch-icon-72x72-precomposed.png><link rel=apple-touch-icon-precomposed href=apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png><meta name=msapplication-TileImage content=apple-touch-icon-144x144-precomposed.png/><meta name=msapplication-TileColor content=#17151a/>Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work for IE9 and IE10's 'your most popular sites screen', google searches have been un-enlightening. Stack uses <link rel=apple-touch-icon href=apple-touch-icon.png> which seems to work for it, but not for us. Any clues to a solution appreciated.
