"Favorites" Icons

[Elliot]

Hi!

I frequent a lot of sites which give my their own
personalized 'favorites icon' when I save them in my
Favorites folders as bookmarks. However, once I delete
prior System Restore points, my favorites icons ALL go
back to the Microsoft Default setting of the page icon
wtih the "E" in it.

I'd like to keep my favorites with the specialized logos
that they originally come with when I save them.

1. Is there any way of fixing this option?
2. Can I get the specialized icons back once they are
gone?

Thanks in advance!

Elliot

Known as "favicon"
When you clear the Temporary Internet Files
the favicon is cleared. If your TIF size is
small (1-5mb) then over time the favicon will
be kicked out in favor of new one.

Find one of these FREE programs:
FAVORG or FAVICONIZER
These will save the icons in a different
folder and fixes your favorites
with the favicon icons.

Favicons are only temporary until cleared from your cache.
To make them permanent:
FavOrg-PCMag: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,14011,00.asp

....or you can save the icons manually, but it is a bit of a pain.

....manual process....
It is only a pain the first one saved.
Using the IE tools it is real easy.
Remember hint: favorites/links is not just for websites.

Thanks guys! After I typed my question I realized that
this was probably happening due to cleaning my internet
temp files.

I am on my way to find FAVORG and FAVICONIZER now! )

Thanks again!!!
