XP Icons in Favorites.

[pjkim01]

I noticed that when you bookmark a site: Like Yahoo or MSN. There is a small icon picture that is associated with the bookmark.
But when I re-open the bookmarks later on. It is replaced with the standard boring windows "E" explorer icon. Does anybody know how to keep it from defaulting?

Thanks,

Peter

Those are called favicons and IE won't save them for you. But there's a little freeware program called FavOrg (I think I got it from the Ziff Davis Download page) that does the trick.

well they are downloaded to temp internet files and they are deleted when you clear your cache

Favorg is the only way you can save them.

an alternate way

I keep a folder in my windows Directoryt I call ~Icons. I save icons and icon files in this dierectory, including favorites icons. Then I just associate those bookmarks with the icon in this directory........ Works great!
