Sometimes a URL has a unique icon associated with it that shows when you add
a link to the website in the links toolbar. For instance www.cbc.ca shows the
CBC logo in the icon to the left of the link.

However sometimes I open up ie7, and the icons have reverted back to the ie7
icon to the left of the link. I have tried different methods to open up ie7
but it is hit and miss if the icons will show up again or not. Sometimes the
unique icons show and sometimes not.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
Are you clearing the IE cache (Temporary Internet Files?) Favicons are
stored in the Temporary Internet Files folder. The Favicons should be
reaquired and displayed by IE, but it may take a while.

Regardless, try FavOrg available at
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Interne...s/favorg.shtml It's
been reported that FavOrg works with IE7 in XP and Vista.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Don
No, I'm not clearing IE cache.
The FavOrg works like a dream.
Thanks for the tip.
