Re: Losing Icon Images

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

A Favicon is stored in the Favorite's alternate data stream. You cannot see it, but in IE.

Just follow these instructions.

To show the icon for an IE shortcut:

1. Download and install AM-DeadLink.
2. Open AM-DeadLink, choose a link and download its Favicon.
3. Close AM-DeadLink.
2. Right-click the shortcut on your Desktop, select Properties
and click the "Change Icon..." button. Browse to:
C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\FavIcons
or wherever AM-DeadLink saved the Favicons to, select the Favicon.

AM-DeadLink detects dead links and duplicates in
browser bookmarks and text files. If a bookmark has
become unavailable you can verify and delete it
permanently.

Favorites and Bookmarks.

Yes - that is what I am doing - right-clicking, Properties, Change Icon?
.

I sent the Icon to my desktop, from Favorites.
That was a good image of the downloaded URL.
Then all of a sudden , the Icon changed automatically to the Internet blue letter "E" Icon - like IE 7.0.

I am trying to change it back to the original or even another Icon and it still stays on the Internet blue letter "E" Icon - like IE 7.0. - no luck?

I don't understand what you are doing.

Are you talking about IE Favorites?

Is the favorite on your Desktop and you're right-clicking, Properties, Change Icon?

What is happening:

I change the image to what I want. However, another image appears when I
accept it.
I change to another and different image and it accepts the image
When I click on the Icon, open the URL and then close it, it reverts back to
the Internet E image with a White background?

Re-booting does not change it back, when I have the Internet E image??

any help

thx
