Does the favicon.ico HAVE to be in the root directory, or can I simply reference the full path in the link statement?
Thanx.i believe for IE it does, but for all other browsers it doesn't matter. I may be wrong though.It doesn't even have to be an ico. I'm using a gif on one site that works fine for real browsers.

works fine for real browsers.I guess this implies that it doesn't work in IE.
It doesn't matter where you store it on your server, just make a refference to it in the head of your page

This is an IE thing. And maybe other late Browsers. You have to bookmark the page to see the icon.
Don't know about the gif file. I only know about renaming a bmp's copy to icoyou only have to add to your bookmarks in IE.
real browsers will show it no matter what
