Hi all.

I have noticed that for some inexplicable reason the picture icon that is associated to a particular web site/page suddenly has changed to the generic Internet icon.

Example, where before I had a nice big "Y" for the short cut to Yahoo Mail now there is a big blue "E"

Likewise I had a picture icon shortcut to "Fuel Watch", that also is now a big "E".

These changes only apply to picture icons that are automatically supplied with the associated site.

If I change the icon picture to one of my own choosing, these are not effected.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Regards

Janset, You need to download FavOrg to save those icons. You can read about it at this link but don't download it at the link as it's not Free.

FavOrg Scrrenshot

Go to the link below and in the left column under PC Magazine Utilities download FavOrg 1.2 and unzip it then install it. It's Free at this link and will work with Windows XP.

FavOrg Download
