Usage
This article assumes that the reader is familiar with favicons (also known as shortcut icons). The standard favicon image for the Joomla backend is . The normal way to replace this image is to replace the file ../administrator/templates/<template-name>/favicon.ico. Whenever the Joomla version is updated, however, this file is replaced with the standard Joomla favicon file.

Note: If you are updating from an earlier release of JAdmin Favicon you may have to reset the plugin settings.
