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

Also try FavIoncizer:
"
www.codeproject.com/tools/faviconizer.asp?
target=favicons"
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
