Is it possible to change the favicon for the My Sites in Sharepoint 2010? I've followed Randy Drisgills tutorial for changing the SharePoint site icon and it worked.

When I've tried to apply the same changes to the My Site master page I see no change. I've been instructed to not overwrite the original favicon so that is not a viable solution. Thanks.
I have investigated this problem before, and there are possible issues which haven't been mentioned:
Icon content type(not exactly SP content type!) - be sure that your icon is bitmap (16x16 px) and has extension "ico" and name "favicon". For example if you create png/jpg and change it's name to favicon.ico - it won't work... You can use this site to convert your icons to proper format.
Be sure that you check proper masterpage which have mentioned control - simply check source code and look for :
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="your_path_to_favicon/favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" />
