Why is it when my computer crashes (Windows XP) it dumps all the
little picture icons that are displayed in the favourites column. Most
frustrating.


IE has never been able to handle favicons properly. Use a different browser
(nearly all other browsers will store/display them properly) if it bothers
you. In fact you should use a different browser anyway for a million
reasons.


I'm no techie but wasn't service pack 1 intended to replace the stolen
Java with the real thing rather than put security to the fore?

Reinstall your XP as nature intended and stop everything in it from web
access. Get a Java download from the rightful owners and put it in
Firefox. (If you must use OE get Thunderbird you dummy, and use that
instead.)

You can then use the OS the way it was intended and expect it to crash
no more forever.

But I am only guessing.
