ICONs in Favorites Get Overwritten

[Guest]

ICONs in Favorites List get overwritten with the Internet Explorer Icon.

How can I stop this from happening?

I want the original site's Icon to remain in the Favorite List.

Preserve the favicons using AM-Deadlink:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ie/favicon.htm

To do this manually:
Download the .ico file:
Visit that 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 it's Properties sheet.

Note: View > Source can also be used to view the favicon URL.

Now I understand that when you clear the Temporary Internet Files cache it
eliminates the favicon.ico files which are the samll icons in the Favorites
List.

The suggested program is freeware and I intend on trying this.......THANK You!

Maybe IE can change where it places the favicon.ico files in the next
releases?
