After the latest update I noticed that my icons automaticly change when
visiting some web sights. That is okey however some of the icons I have
assigned I would like to keep. Is there a way to keep the icons I chose,
from changing when I visit these sights?
Thanks for any help
Favicons not showing or lost
Some ISPs and webhosts don't support favicons. Contact yours to find
out if it does. If it doesn't, ask it to start supporting favicons. Most
ISPs and web hosts now support favicons
IE stores the icons in the Temporary Internet Files cache. As soon as
you clear the cache (delete temporary files), you lose all of your icons.
FavOrg PCMag: To set Favicons

Favicons are only temporary until cleared from your cache.
To save them permanently in a different folder and re-associate your
favorites with the stored icons. It also verifies if Favorites links
are still good.
FavInocizer, here:
http://www.codeproject.com/tools/faviconizer.asp?target=favicons I've
used this and it's quite good. It will actually find about a third more
than FavOrg does (since it checks for referenced URL's), but lacks some
of the other capabilities of FavOrg, recommended.
To preserve the Favicons manually:
Visit a site and create a shortcut of it to the Desktop
Right-click the URL shortcut, and Send To, Notepad
Look at the line reading IconFile:
Example:
IconFile=
http://www.google.co.in/favicon.ico
Now, type
http://www.google.co.in/favicon.ico in the browser window and
save the .ico file locally. Change the URL icon using the "Change Icon"
in its Properties sheet.
Note: View, Source can also be used to view the Favicon URL.
