Icon changes

I have created an icon for one of my internet shortcuts, but every so often,
the displayed icon (stored on the desktop) will change, and I have to change
it back. What is causing this behavior, and how can I get the displayed icon
to remain the way that I set it?

What version of Internet Explorer are you using?

Those are favicons, kept in the Temporary Internet Files cache and when that
is cleared the icon is lost. See this.
