favorites in explorer
From http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_f.htm
Favorite Icons are Missing Custom icons are lost when you clean your cache. These are 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. FavOrg - Restore and Save Favorite Icons (Line 108) http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm FavesToGo - Save Favorites Quickly (Line 108) http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Workaround: 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. -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows XP/ Windows Smart Display Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Associate Expert ExpertZone - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit. Unsolicited e-mail is not answered. "Scuzzy" wrote in message ... Hi, I am sorry if I am in the wrong forum but can anyone tell me why that when I add a site to my list of favorites, sometimes an icon is displayed in the favorites menu and sometimes an IE shortcut icon appears. After a few days the site that has it's individual icon will disappear and turn into an IE shortcut icon, I don't understand why this happens. I much prefer to have the site's own icon as it gives me a visual refernce that I find easier to locate than looking for the saved name that I gave it. TIA Scuzzy |
