FAVicons not sticky in QuickLaunch toolbar

[themudshark]

Howdy folks

I added a couple of IE shortcuts to the QL toolbar and, initially, they displayed their FAVicon icon.

They no longer do, now they just reverted to anIE icon, not the web site's FAVicon.

Any idea how to make these "sticky"? A bunch of IE shortcut icons is no way to find what I want!

Thx

It used to be that Internet Explorer favicons could be copied from the Temporary Internet folder to a "safe' location and linked to through the "change icon" option on the properties page of your shortcut.

However as near as I can tell a recent security patch has made these .ico files dissappear or go into disguise.

If you do find favicons in your temporary internet cache and want to preserve them, copy them out of there.
