favicon

We use the following code to add icons for favicon, tablets, smartphones, windows 8 tiles and the like:-

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="apple-touch-icon.png">

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico"/>

<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" sizes="144x144" href="apple-touch-icon-144x144-precomposed.png">

<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" sizes="114x114" href="apple-touch-icon-114x114-precomposed.png">

<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" sizes="72x72" href="apple-touch-icon-72x72-precomposed.png">

<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" href="apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png">

<meta name="msapplication-TileImage" content="apple-touch-icon-144x144-precomposed.png"/>

<meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#17151a"/>

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work for IE9 and IE10's 'your most popular sites screen', google searches have been un-enlightening.

Stack uses <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="apple-touch-icon.png"> which seems to work for it, but not for us.

Any clues to a solution appreciated.
