Links icons changing after selected

[Dee Lowery]

Can anyone tell me why, after I select my links to
Favorites for my Link bar, and I have them organized
across the Links bar with the company logo, i.e., ebay,
Yahoo, WebMD, etc., that they will change and each logo
will return to the "e" Explorer icon? I want to keep the
company logo next to the company, not have the "e" for
Explorer across the Links bar. Help, please.

The favorites icons are temporary, and will eventually disappear when
the "Temporary Internet Files" cache is cleared.

You can assign a new icon by right-clicking and choosing "Properties."
Use the "Change Icon" button to choose a new icon. You can either
assign an icon from elsewhere on your system, or try to get and save a
copy of the original site icon. Just make sure that the icon you
assign is not located within any of the "Temporary Internet Files"
folders.

E.g., to get the Yahoo icon, go to http://www.yahoo.com/favicon.ico -
then go to File/Save As to save the file somewhere on your system. The
main icons for many sites are named "favicon.ico" - though individual
pages within a site can have their own separate icons.
