Internet shortcuts on the desktop

[Guest]

I was wondering if someone could help me out. I use IE as my browser and when I put a shortcut on the desktop I usually get a red "E" for ESPN as my icon, a red "Y" for YAHOO as my icon, a "B" in a BLUE circle for the BOSTON GLOBE icon..etc. I don't know how or why but when I log onto my computer now all shortcuts are now show up as an "e" icon, the same one as the internet explorer icon

How can change the icons back to what they were orginally. I appreciate all help

I've never really thought about it, but...
Maybe in a recent patch, they removed page icons from IE?
Those sites don't give me anything either.
