View Full Version : "Favourites" icons

Is there any way of retaining the original icons provided by the Web site
for display on the Favourites menu. When I used ME I downloaded a freeware
utility, called Favorg, which did exactly this. Is there equivalent for XP?
Seems odd that this useful facility isn't standard issue to XP-ers. Thanks
in advance, Birkonian

Favorg works just fine with XP.

Problem now is I can't find a/the download site for FavOrg. I thought in
the past I'd used www.absey-vine.co.uk but I couldn't spot it there now.
Can anyone help please?

A quick Google search produced loads of results.

Favorg works fine in XP.
You can also manually save these icons. Go to the Temporary Internet Files
folder (Usually at C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files) Find the file there and copy it to the
folder where you save these icons. Point any shortcuts or Favorites to that
icon file.
