title: Favicon going back to default when opening a new window
body: <p>I have changed my asp.net website favicon and it works perfectly when navigating through website's pages. </p>
  
  <p>I have put the favicon.png in Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml file</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;head&gt;
    &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt;
    &lt;meta charset="utf-8" /&gt;
    &lt;meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"&gt;
    &lt;link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="~/images/favicon.png" /&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;@ViewBag.Title&lt;/title&gt;
  
    @Styles.Render("~/Content/css")
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr")
  &lt;/head&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However when I open a image in new window my favicon changes back to the asp.net default icon. </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="col-sm-12"&gt;
      &lt;a href="~/images/holiday/sunset_1.png" target="_blank"&gt;
          &lt;img class="img-responsive" src="~/images/holiday/sunset_1.png" /&gt;
      &lt;/a&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anybody know how to change this or why it happens.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
