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.

Click on Favorites in the MENU bar. NOT the Toolbar. The first two items
should be Add to Favorites, then, Organize Favorites. Immediately under
Organize Favorites is a gray line. Move your pointer below the gray line and
click your right mouse button. From the shortcut menu, click "Sort By Name".
It's the second item from the bottom.
You can also sort your Programs menu this way. Click Start/Programs (All
Programs in XP), move your pointer to the Programs menu. Click the Right
mouse button and click on the Sort By Name option.

Joe,
You can also click the Favorites button on the TOOLBAR and
when it opens up in the left pane, you can grab ANY shortcut and
drag it up or down to your desired location.. You can also drag
them in and out of different sub-folders. Works for me.
