When I add some webpage links to my favorites menu in IE
they have custom icons (ie. NBC.com would have the
peacock for an icon) for some reason all those special
icons disappeared when I restarted my PC the next day.
Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it.
Thanks.
 
Hi Brendan - 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:

or Version 1.2 here:

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.)
