After using Win Explorer to manage files and dir structures, icons for
several shortcuts for internet connections change from their "proprietary"
logos to the windows internet exlporer default symbols (that ugly e with
whatever wrapped around it) Repeated scans with Macafee/Adaware/Spybot does
not reveal any trojans or infections etc. I like the individualized icons
because they help to quickly id destinations. It is frustrating, but not
fatal. Any help would be appreciated
Again, WHAT are you calling manage, Keith? If you are meaning after
cleaning the temp files, this is normal behavior.
These are generally known as favicons.ico (Favorite Icons) and they normally
will only last until your Internet Explorer Temp files are cleared.
This program will allow you to save the favicons.ico (Favorite Icons)
permanently in a different folder and re-associate your favorites with the
stored icons.
Workaround:
Navigate to the Temporary Internet Files, and drag the icons to the desktop
and rename them to whatever name you like.
Create a folder called Icon Selection. Move all of the renamed favicons to
this folder placed in the root directory of C. Right click on the Icon,
select Browse and navigate to your Icon Selection folder. Choose the
renamed favicon and click ok. These icons will be permanent.
When you right click on an icon, select browse and navigate to the Icon
Selection folder. Choose the renamed favicon you want and click ok. Your
customized icons will be permanent.
