Hi thickface :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

These are known as favicons.ico (Favorite Icons) and they normally will only last until your Internet Explorer Temporary files are cleared.

or.

Favicons

also..

Courtesy of Frank Saunders -

The Favicons are stored in the Temporary Internet Files (TIF) and disappear
when they expire out of TIF or TIF is cleared. Get FavOrg:

FavOrg - Restore and Save Favorite Icons (Line 108)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

and..

Icons are temporarily stored in a file called iconcache.dll, You might try deleting this file and restart your computer, Windows should automatically rebuild the iconcache.dll on reboot. Be sure to make a backup copy just in case.

You can also preserve the Favicons using AM-Deadlink

Hope this helps.

Hello all,

My IE doesn't display icons in address bar. It doesn't show even defaul
logo(e), but instead it displays a icon that appears when a computer
detected a file type that it can't open.  Is there anyone who could
help me out?

Thank you.
