The website icons associated with the URL and contained in the Properties
window of the desktop shortcuts do not actually show up on my desktop. I get
generic Windows-generated icons instead. How can this be and how do I
correct this? It seems that I can only change them to what is contained in
the Windows icon library.

Hi,

Brilliant, works fine until you move the shortcut into a folder on the
desktop then it reverts back to the default !!!!

So, in order to get website specific icons, you need to use the "classic"
option. This "classic" option is also referred to as "small". Thus, we are
stuck with itty bitty icons to use website specific icons? That's pretty
poopy, imo.
