Hi,

Does anyone knows why after I add the website in "favorites", the icon
belongs to that website only shows for a day in "favorites" and the next day
it will go to the standard blue IE icon. Thanks.

Hi David - 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:

Thanks Robin - I had used that one, but forgotten about it. I just retried
it, and I'm going to add it to my post. It doesn't have all of the FavOrg
capabiliteis, but it does find about a third more Fav Icons, since it also
checks referenced URL's.
