Re: "Custom" icon in Quick Launch bar?

Uh, I see how to rightclick on the QL icon (button?), click properties,
click on "Change Icon," but that just gives me choices of icons that reside
on my machine.

What I'm talking about is automatic on my XP machine: Drag the webpage's
icon directly from the IE Address window while viewing the web page to the
QL bar. This drops the shortcut there on the QL bar, and the icon is a
replica of that appears in the IE Address window....
