Hello all,

My IE doesn't display icons in address bar. It doesn't show even defaul
logo(e), but instead it displays a icon that appears when a computer
detected a file type that it can't open. Is there anyone who could
help me out?

Thank you.
 
Hi thickface :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

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

or.

Favicons

also..

The Favicons are stored in the Temporary Internet Files (TIF) and disappear
when they expire out of TIF or TIF is cleared. Get FavOrg:

FavOrg - Restore and Save Favorite Icons (Line 108)

and..

Icons are temporarily stored in a file called iconcache.dll, You might try
deleting this file and restart your computer, Windows should automatically
rebuild the iconcache.dll on reboot. Be sure to make a backup copy just in
case.

You can also preserve the Favicons using AM-Deadlink

Hope this helps.
