Re: is there a way to remove the tiki icon from a browser tab view?
Control panel/Look and Feel/Miscellaneous/ Favicon
Load your favion in the root directory of your install. You can name it whatever you want just as long as you change the name in the Favicon settings.
Just in case you need to create a favcion, you can google favicon generator and come up with a ton of free resources, here is one at http://www.favicongenerator.com/
