The Icons that are created in Favorites change from the
site based topic Icon to the default IE 'e' Icon. How can
I change this ?
 
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.

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.
------------------------------------------------
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:

rg.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.)

===========================================
 
When I create a shortcut to my desktop with a web page, it will show the site's icon for a session and then it will go to the basic e. Is this the same issue as with the icon changing in favorites?
 
Jill;
Yep. Called Favicons. Dig it (them) out of your Temporary Internet Files before it's
deleted.
Or you can change the Icon.
Right click the shortcut | Change Icon button | If you do not see what you like | Browse
button
Or if you do not have any but the default XP icons, Icons here:

Or do a Google Search for icons.
