File Icons on DVD Drive Disapeared, Help.

[Paul K.]

Hi I wanted to know how can I fix the following problem on Windows XP
Sp2:

Using a burning software, Roxio I was copying some files to a DVD then
something happened and the next time I inserted a DVD all the icons
from the files in it changed to the icons of IE the as if they were
html pages. I tried to verify the icons in the Tools > folder options>
but in here the File Type Tab dissapeared as well, this only happens in

the DVD drive for all the other drives it works well, hope you can
help.


Paul.

What icon do you think they should have?

Are these some sort of Favicons?

Customized icons?

I used to see favicons, but now they've all disappeared. What happened?

Favicons are cached similarly to html documents. When they are deleted from
the cache, they revert to the standard IE icon. If you want to prevent the
icon from disappearing:

1. Create a local directory (e.g., c:\favicons)
2. Copy the desired favicon into the directory created above.
3. Right click the mouse over the favorite/bookmark and select properties.
4. Enter the path (or use the 'browse' feature) to the favicon you want for
that bookmark.

Another temporary solution is to hold down the mouse button while holding
shift over the default IE icon in the address bar and then let go of the
mouse button anywhere in the address bar. This seems to 'update' the
favicon.
