All of a sudden, in my favorites folders, the specialized
icons have all defaulted to internet explorer icons. For
example, the specific icon for "google" has now become the
internet explorer icon.

What happened and how can I retrieve the specialized icons?
 
The Favorites icons are stored in the temporary internet folder. When this
is deleted, the special icons are deleted. Move the icons to another
folder. Then use the Properties of you Favorite URL to change icon. Point
to the that file in the new folder.
 
Known as "favicon"
When you clear the Temporary Internet Files
the favicon is cleared. If your TIF size is
small (1-5mb) then over time the favicon will
be kicked out in favor of new one.

Find these FREE programs:
FAVORG or FAVICONIZER
These will save the icons in a different
folder and fixes your favorites
with the favicon icons.
