ICO Files

[Guest]

This is driving me nuts. I like having the websites ICO files on my desk top.
They keep dissappearing and reappearing at ramdom. I am set up for 2 users. I
am the administrator and I have a roomie who signs in under the guest
account. How do I KEEP the custom ICO File icon on my desktop? And is there
something I can do to keep it there? I am running Windows XP Home and
Internet Explorer 7.

Thanks, tuneman45

Thanks Doug. I got the program, it does wonders for the favorites. But how
about the desktop?? They are still the default blue "e"

You'll have to go back to those web pages and possibly save them as a Favorite. You can also use the information in the tutorial, and other sources to locate the favicon.ico files for those web sites and download and save them manually. Then adjust the shortcuts properties to reflect the location of the saved icon.

DON'T. Its a security risk. Set him up a Limited Users account and use that.

Thanks Gordon, rather than asking what kind or security risk, I will just do
it.
