"favicon" icons in temp folder

[rwrede]

In Favorites folder (IE) some saved websites have their
own icon [file extension '.favicon'] instead of the
default "e". They are stored in the Temporary Internet
Files. Here at my home computer, the icons are removed
whenever a cleaning of the Temp Internet files folder is
done, (and I get the boring 'e' default icon) It has
always done that and I thought it was normal, But at work
when I clean the temp internet items folder the "Favicon"
are saved somehow and I can still see them when I choose
a "Favorite" website. How is that done? (Is it that I
have XP Pro at work and XP Home here? it did it with ME
Too.)

Download FAVORG.ZIP from the PC Magazine web site.

If you'd like to obtain Favorg.zip free (ver 1.4, which is the same as what
PC magazine has amongst its ~300 other programs for it's 19.95 yearly
subscription fee) this site may still have it available.

I just so happen to have a subscription to PC magazine utilities, and feel
it is not a bad deal. But I believe if you only want this program, this link
still has it available at no cost.

Thanks all. I know for a fact there is no special program
installed on my work PC to save favicons so how is it
doing it?
