[frederico roldao]

sometimes i can see websites' icons, like the one in
www.atxilipu.com, and sometimes i cannot. why does this
happen? with netscape i can always see them!

When you break the connection to the website the favicon
disappears. Deleting the temp files breaks the
connection.

This from Ms Kelly..................
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.

Hi Frederico - These are known as favicons.ico (Favorite Icons) and they
normally will only last until your Internet Explorer Temp files are cleared.

You need to get a program called FavOrg 1.4 here:

http://www.gratilog.net/anglais/internet/favorg.zip
http://uk.geocities.com/personel44/files/favorg.zip

or Version 1.2 here:

http://www.liemar.com.br/construindoseusite/downloads/favorg.zip
http://www.themes.myqth.com/Downloads/favorg.zip

(still free at these links) which will allow you to save them permanently
in a different folder and re-associate your favorites with the stored icons.
(It will also verify whether your links in Favorites are stll good, BTW.)

If you want to read more about it first, go here:

You can also try FavIoncizer, here:
http://www.codeproject.com/tools/faviconizer.asp?target=favicons I've used
this and it's quite good,. It will actually find about a third more than
FavOrg does (since it checks for referenced URL's), but lacks some of the
other cababilites of FavOrg, Recommended.
