I was putting my Favourites in the taskbar, but they all appear like the icon
for Internet Explorer (the E symbol). They used to appear like the icon on
the websites (like Pogo, etc.). Did I change something or how do I get the
right icons to appear on the taskbar?
Do an internet search on "favicons."
Customized icons for websites are stored in Temporary Internet Files (TIF).
As long as the icon is still there, it used for your shortcuts. When the
icon is gone, the shortcut reverts to using the blue E icon.
TIF has a size limit. Older stuff is removed to make room for new.
Customized icons drift away over time. Or you might manually clear the TIF
and you lose all icons at once.
You can manually collect favicons from TIF to another folder - where they
won't get deleted as the browser cache changes. Use Properties of each
internet shortcut to select the icon that you want assigned to it. OR you
can download a program that automates this process for you.
