favorites icons

Is there a way to change the 'favorites icons' to refer
to them more quickly, instead of the same 'e' icon?
Yahoo used to have the capital 'Y' in red as the icon;
now it's difficult to locate among all my other
bookmarks. I only have a few with there own personalized
symbol.
Suggestions?

Hi Sabrina,

You have to have them first. These are generally known as favicons.ico
(Favorite Icons) and they normally will only last until your Internet
Explorer Temp files are cleared.

This program will allow you to save the favicons.ico (Favorite Icons)
permanently in a different folder and re-associate your favorites with the
stored icons.

Workaround:

Navigate to the Temporary Internet Files, and drag the icons to the desktop
and rename them to whatever name you like.

Create a folder called Icon Selection. Move all of the renamed favicons to
this folder placed in the root directory of C. Right click on the Icon,
select Browse and navigate to your Icon Selection folder. Choose the
renamed favicon and click ok. These icons will be permanent.

When you right click on an icon, select browse and navigate to the Icon
Selection folder. Choose the renamed favicon you want and click ok. Your
customized icons will be permanent.
