IE Favorites Icons
IE always changes the small website icons (in my favorites list) to the standard IE icon a day or two after I place them there. Does anyone know how I can prevent this? I find it much quicker to find the one I want if it has the original logo. Thanks.

Custom icons are lost when you clean your cache. These are known as favicons.ico (Favorite Icons) and they normally will only last until your Internet Explorer Temp files are cleared.
This program will allow you to save the favicons.ico (Favorite Icons) permanently in a different folder and re-associate your favorites with the stored icons.

Workaround:
Create a folder called Icon Selection. Move all of the renamed favicons to this folder placed in the root directory of C. Right click on the Icon, select Browse and navigate to your Icon Selection folder. Choose the renamed favicon and
click ok. These icons will be permanent.
When you right click on an icon, select browse and navigate to the Icon Selection folder. Choose the renamed favicon you want and click ok. Your customized icons will be permanent.
