links toolbar icons

Whenever I drag a new link to the toolbar, I get the
website's icon until I restart IE. Then the icon always
reverts to the IE icon. How do I get the site specific
icons back?

Known as "favicon"
When you clear the Temporary Internet Files
the favicon is cleared. If your TIF size is
small (1-5mb) then over time the favicon will
be kicked out in favor of new one.

Find these FREE programs:
FAVORG or FAVICONIZER
These will save the icons in a different
folder and fixes your favorites
with the favicon icons.

The favicons are stored i the Temporary Internet Files (TIF) and are lost
when TIF is cleared. Get FavOrg:

The program "FavOrg" preserves the favorites icon permanently. You may download it from:
