Click to expand...

A PC Mag utility, no longer freeware. Maybe someone will know of a freeware
program that does the same thing ...
 
Thanks,
Thought maybe someplace had it where you didn't have to pay and subscribe to
the PC utility library. Janet
 
Hi Janet - These are known as favicons.ico (Favorite Icons) and they
normally will only last until your Internet Explorer Temp files are cleared.

You need to get a program called FavOrg 1.4 here:

http://www.gratilog.net/anglais/internet/favorg.zip
http://uk.geocities.com/personel44/files/favorg.zip

or Version 1.2 here:

http://www.liemar.com.br/construindoseusite/downloads/favorg.zip
http://www.themes.myqth.com/Downloads/favorg.zip

(still free at these links) which will allow you to save them permanently
in a different folder and re-associate your favorites with the stored icons.
(It will also verify whether your links in Favorites are stll good, BTW.)

If you want to read more about it first, go here:

You can also try FavIoncizer, here:
http://www.codeproject.com/tools/faviconizer.asp?target=favicons I've used
this and it's quite good,. It will actually find about a third more than
FavOrg does (since it checks for referenced URL's), but lacks some of the
other cababilites of FavOrg, Recommended.

Thanks to you all. I really don't care about the favicon finding in the
program. I just like the ability to delete dead links and timeouts on
favorites that are just sitting in my folders. Thanks again. Janet
