Help!!!!!!!! Why when I save a web address to my favorite
places, I do no get the web sites icon. The only icon I
save is the "e" for the generic MS Inernet Explorer.
 
Hi Mark - 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:

or Version 1.2 here:

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.)
