So yeah, I was trying to get my imdb.com icons to show in
my internet browser favorites. So, I went to the site and
tried re-adding them but that didn't work. Although, I
tried that same thing with a yahoo icon and it worked. I'm
thinking I must have cleared them when I emptied my cache.
Do you know how I can get my imdb icon back and how I can
keep all my icons from being deleted?
 
Terngu -

Sometimes when one re-visits a site you get them back; ala Yahoo. Sometimes
you don't. They disappear (not always) when the cache is cleared; when new
icons pre-empt the old, etc.

Use a program like Favorg or Faviconizer to "maintain" the favicons.
Otherwise they will get displaced and what-not.

My choice -having used apps such as those I mentioned - is to not use them,
but rather *COPY* a favicon from the TIF's into a folder cleverly called
"Icons" <s> which I keep in my C Drive. Then when a site has a favicon I
simply COPY it to that folder and re-name it whatever I want. *Never cut the
icon from the TIF's* - you will corrupt the Index.dat file. Thereafter it is
a relatively simple process: R-Click IE Icon>Properties>change icon>Browse
to folder>select icon of choice>OK>Apply>OK out. They will never be lost
again, even if one uses TweakUI or SysiconCleaner, or re-news the
ShelliconCache.

Use Find>Files and folders favicon (or sometimes "wildcard" *.ico in
the TIFs/ Content.IE5 folder) to find them rapidly.

To replace your IMDB icon maybe here. You will need to edit the
picture>resize to 32 x32> and save as a .ico file using a photo editor such
as IrfanView (or other which allows saving as an .ico file). There are other
methods with other programs as well.
