Denise,
The favicon .ico files are actually stored in the Temporary Internet Files
(TIF) and clearing the TIF erases those favicons. See the following link to
learn how to preseve the icons.

To implement this manually:
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.com/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 that, Internet Explorer > View > Source can also be
used to view the favicon location.

When I first bookmark a site, the icon for that site appears next to the
name
of the site. Within a few days, the icon is replaced by the Internet
Explorer E icon. Is there a setting that I can change or a program that I
can use so that the original icon will remain?
