I once had a small program the found and reset the icons. Any ideas?

Web page icons are ephemeral. They reference the original web site via the
temporary internet files cache. Clear your cache and the icons are gone.
Internet Shortcuts are text files (not so other shortcuts). Open in notepad
and change the icon path to where you've saved the icon.

To put an icon back in the cache so it can be found add \favicon.ico after
the site name. EG to get google back
http://www.google.com/favicon.ico

Next time you login it will find the icon in the cache and show it.
