I recently deleted all the temp. files to free up some
space and now all the icons on my favorites menu
disapeared. They are all the internet explorer icon. How
do I get them back?
 
Kelli, Same thing happened to me.

1. Delete all your temporary internet files. (It's easier
this way).
2. Launch all the sites that you are missing favicons
from. Try one to start with, not all sites have them.
3. Create a new folder and name it.....IEicons, favicons,
whatever you want.
4. Open temporary internet files and arrange them by TYPE.
5. Find your favicons and drag them to your new folder
(you can't copy them), renaming
them is your choice. Make sure file extension
is .ico
6. Right click( the favorite you want to change icon for)
click......properties / change icon /
browse / find and open your new icon folder / click
on icon /
open / ok / apply / ok your done. Store the
folder where you want, be sure not to
mess up it's file path to the icons. Next time you
delete your temp files your fancy icons will not
disappear. This help?? post back
 
Do a search for a freeware program FavOrg ver 1,4

I t will check all connections in your Favourites folder and re-insert all
the Favicons. It will tell you which links have changed or died and allow
you to delete dead links.
Works in XP
