These Icons are stored in >>
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
or
C:\Documents and Settings\YourNameHere\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files
The contents of these files get deleted. Icons revert back to the generic
ugly IE e.
IE | Tools | Internet Options | General tab | Settings button | View Files
button | Scroll down to whatever *.ico files you want to keep | Left click
favicon.ico | Drag to Desktop | Rename to whatever | Store in a folder such
as >> C:\Documents and Settings\YourNameHere\My Documents\ICONS
Open Favorites | Right click whatever item | Properties | Change Icon |
button | Browse button | Click: My Documents or wherever *.ico are stored |
Click whatever *.ico | Open button | OK | Apply | OK
Repeat as necessary.
If you move any *.ico files after customizing your shortcut/favorite, the
icon will revert back to the blue e

Hello,
I'll try to make this short.
On my PC desktop I have a Google Icon, (Large G), for some reason and at
any time but mainly after surfing it reverts back to a large E, this
happens with several of my other icons all at the same time, what is the
cause and fix to this?
At start of day all my desktop icons are as I wish them to be.
Thanks
