Vista here, and I can drag a URL to my quick launch bar and the icon
stays the same.

One thing you might need to think about is that the icon you prefer is
in your Temp Internet Files initially and those are deleted when you
close IE (if you have it set to do that) or when you run a disk
cleanup.

You need to find that icon and copy it over to a directory of your
choosing/making, THEN do the change icon thing and browse to that
directory to find the icon you want.

Doing that should also fix the problem you are having - I think.[color=blue]
