Re: Uninstalled IE7 - desktop problem

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

I tried the System Restore...no go I'm afraid. I'll look into this other
method. Thanks ;-)

Hi Peter :-)

Thanks you Jan, but as my message says...I'm no longer a beta tester of
IE7...I give up!!

Ok...have you tried doing a System Restore to a date prior to the date you
installed the IE7 to restore your system to that previous state? Check to
see if you have a restore point prior to the time you installed the IE7and
if so, run the restore and see if that helps.

If not, check the information below:

Favicons
http://rickrogers.org/fixes.htm#Favicons

and ....

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

Once you get your Favicons working again, try the following to preserve
them:
FavOrg: To save Favicons - Free
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Bookmark-Managers/favorg.shtml
This allows you to save them permanently in a different folder and
re-associate your favorites with the stored icons. It also verifies
whether your links in Favorites are still good.

But....if all other efforts fails, you may just have to do a repair of
your IE6 in order to get it back up to speed. I am not an advocate of
arbitraily doing a repair, but, when nothing works, then Here is how to do
that:

Make sure your anti-virus is turned off.

If you have SP2, follow the instuctions in the SP2 section:

The section Windows XP and Windows XP SP1: Edit the registry and install

Hope this helps.

I've asked this twice in the IE7 group and no reply. After
uninstalling IE7 my desktop favicons revert to IE7 generic "e" at every
boot. I use TweakUI to successfully correct it, but why is this
happening? Anything I can do?
