OK, I am unsure of what to call them, but sometimes when you save a website to your favorite places or bookmark it however, rather than the generic "e" in IE for example, you get a small picture of an icon to represent that website. Digitalblasphemy for example assigns a "DB" in orange color.

Well, anyhow, these icons sometimes disappear until I go to that website and resave it as a favorite and then I have 2 of the same favorites, BOTH with the designed icons. Then I must delete one. Why does this happen, and how can I prevent them from disappearing, if there is such a way?

They dissapear when you clean temporary internet files. Didn't get that about more than one though, I have 7 sites with their own favicon in my bookmarks.

Stay away from cleaning your temporary files if you want to keep them

Yep, you are right, I just checked and experiemnted. Darn, this sux, because every now and then I do clear my temp files. maybe if I cleared them, then visited each site whose Icon I want to remain, and then make all those hidden files it may avoid them being cleared again?

you could probably do a search for .ico files, or whatever the extension is, and protect them from your next cleansing.

Already thought of that. Apparently, the temporary folder is read only and refuses to accept my changing it so. I tried to copy the files elsewhere, to back them up, so they can easily be thrown back into that folder without having to re-visit every site, but no such luck. They get auto renamed and changed in the process. Further, I can't throw anything into the Temporary folder because it won't allow since its read only. Even when logged in as Admin.

If you save the site again to your favorites and overwrite the previous entry it should restore the web site icon.

Go to your temporary internet files folders and sort them by date. The most recent entry should contain an icon file called favicon[1].ico or something similar.

Start a new folder on your hard drive called "Icons". Copy the favicon[1].ico file to the "Icons" folder and rename it to something that refers to the web site.

Go to the web site favorite entry and select Properties | Change Icon and browse to the "Icons" folder and select the icon that you copied to that location.

This will make a "sticky" web site icon, and you can delete your temporary files any time you wish without losing the icons.

Its a figure of speech, usually referred to as excitement. Actually yeah, I do have lots of time onmy hands and decided to perfect my Computer, and things on it that don't work as I want them to. I am a teacher and have summer off with the students, so I have 6 weeks off now...4 weeks remaining. And Skyline, whats it to you anyway, my time is my personal business, not yours.

the same one who edited this one - look below your profile to see , even if inertia told ya's already

He's evidently a person with enough time on his hands to enter a thread which is of no interest to him, and take the time to trivialize someone else's happiness at finding a solution to the thread topic.
