internet explorer icon

[Jon]

when saving a website in internet explorer, is there a
way to keep the website's own icon in the "favorites"
section? to illustrate: i visit a website and save it as
a "favorite". at first, the website's logo (let's say an
apple)appears in the "favorites" next to a description of
the site, but invariably all the saved website logos
become the internet explorer "e" on top of a sheet of
paper icon. is there a way to keep the "apple" instead
of the "e" on top of a sheet of paper? it would make it
so much easier to just spot a unique-looking icon rather
than have to read the description next to the "e"

Hi Jon,

These are generally known as favicons.ico (Favorite Icons) and they normally
will only last until your Internet Explorer Temp files are cleared.

This program will allow you to save the favicons.ico (Favorite Icons)
permanently in a different folder and re-associate your favorites with the
stored icons.

Workaround:

Navigate to the Temporary Internet Files, and drag the icons to the desktop
and rename them to whatever name you like.

Create a folder called Icon Selection. Move all of the renamed favicons to
this folder placed in the root directory of C. Right click on the Icon,
select Browse and navigate to your Icon Selection folder. Choose the
renamed favicon and click ok. These icons will be permanent.

When you right click on an icon, select browse and navigate to the Icon
Selection folder. Choose the renamed favicon you want and click ok. Your
customized icons will be permanent.
