FavOrg will restore the Favorites icons on the Start/Favorites menu, but
not on the Internet Explorer Favorites menu or in the address bar. I
have been unable to find out why or how to change this behavior.
My IE Favorites seem secure so far.
From the FavOrg1.4 readme.txt:
"FavOrg scans the Web sites in your Favorites list for
favicons--custom icons provided by the Web site. The icons are
displayed on the Favorites bar, the Favorites menu, and the Address
bar. Custom icons make the Favorites list easier to scan, letting you
locate a given shortcut faster. Microsoft added the custom icon
feature to IE5; FavOrg brings this functionality to IE4 as well.
Favicons are usually lost when you delete your Temporary Internet
Files, but FavOrg preserves them. The program also lets you associate
any icon you choose with a given shortcut, even if no favicon is
provided. Since FavOrg must check the validity of an Internet shortcut
before attempting to download the favicon, it automatically flags dead
links as it goes through your Favorites list. If you like, it can
update redirected links or reset dead links to the site's root."
