When saving sites to "favorites" in IE5.5,many install their own icon,which for me,makes them easier to identify for future reference.But they are soon replaced w/the windows IE default logo,(you know,the lil' page w/the "e").Does any one know how/if I can override these default settings? Thanx in advance

I guess you may try to get rid of the temp internet files / caches and visit those web again.

The little icons are called FAVICONS and are stored in C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files ( but not for long ) When a site first puts one on, while online, go to the TIF folder and search for favicon. Sometimes, the wrong picture icon will be showing for the favicon, just check the properties. Copy and paste the favicon to a new folder in Windows - call it C:\Windows\Favicons, and then rename the icon from favicon.ico to the appropriate site eg Yahoo.ico Then, go to C:\Windows\Favorites and click the shortcut link you want to edit eg to change the Yahoo shortcut to always show the red Y icon 1. Right click the Yahoo shortcut 2. Left click properties 3. Left click Change icon 4. Browse to C:\Windows\Favicons 5. Click the yahoo.ico 6. Click OK There you have it. The cute little red Y icon will show up forever more. Do the same each time you find a favicon you want to save permanently.

Fantastic fix, Krystyna ! Last count in my favs ? ....150+ :):) Viking

Viking, you will be busy for a while ! I have changed the icons for all my favorites shortcuts ( about 300 ) You can use any icon from any EXE or ICO or DLL file.

There is also a free program from PC Magazine called FavOrg which will apply available icons to your favorites...and they will not be deleted if you clear your internet cache.
