Manually? E.g. find out where a copy of the icon is and then use
the Change icon... dialog to have the *.URL shortcut point there.

Alternatively, since you have two cases to compare, open the .URL files
in Notepad to see if there is a difference in that area. E.g. for *.URL which
have icons in XPsp2 I see IconFile= and IconIndex= in them.


Good luck

Thanks, but that would be too much work for the many links that I use.
I know that there is a way of making all the icons update but have forgotten
how I did it a year ago.

To do this for all your bookmarks, not just those in your 'Links' area
download and install 'AM-DeadLink' from the following URL:

http://www.aignes.com/deadlink.htm

Very hand tool to do eactly what you wish and more.

Download 'FavOrg' from PC magazine. It's a small program that will download
and install all your favicons.

I guess here is the best place to ask... I had an issue where a few of the
icons in my links bar disappears and is now showing the default one. Anyone
know why this happened and how I can fix it? eg. photobucket and flickr both
went from their own icon to a default one.
