IE6 Hijacks my FAVORITES' Icons

[Alphapenguin]

Whenever I add a web page to my Internet Explorer
FAVORITES list, it will usually have a unique icon that
clearly identifies it. But my Windows XP home edition OS
will INVARIABLY highjack my web pages' unique icons and
override them with the insipid generic Windows icon.

I want the web pages on my FAVORITES list to maintain
their unique icons! How can I prevent Windows from
playing nanny and erasing the unique icons and replacing
them with those that conform to the Gates Empire?
