When I put a New icon on my desktop, example (ESPN) it will have a colorful
icon. After a little while (hours to days) it will go back to a generic
windows icon. Is there a simple way to prevent this? I'm not educated enough
in Computer skills (yet) to go in a fix it if it is complex. Your thought are
appreciated. Thanks, Deek

I think you are referring to Internet shortcuts and the colorful icons
are called Favicons. The reason they disappear is that they are stored
in your Temporary Internet Files. If you would like to keep them, see
