Does anyone know why or how the small .ico pictures are saved in the
Favorites on IE6.0? I ask because I had them and now I just get the
Explorer .ico. IS there something you have to switch on/off? I like
the graphics of them, sad I know :-)

Many thanks

Keith (Southend)

I think they're cached when you look at the web page. I guess changing
your cache settings might keep the pics for longer (but probably
requires more disk space to cache everything else!).

Ah, it maybe that they preside in the temporary internet files folder,
I did a 'clean disk' the other day, it probably removed them. I do
seem to be getting more back as I use the url's again.

Thanks

Hi Keith,

They are saved in the Temporary Internet Files folder. Just out of interest,
if you have a website and are thinking about adding an icon to your website
URL it's pretty easy. Just create a 16x16 pixel image in something like
photoshop or paint shop pro then save it as favicon.ico in the root folder
of your website. Once there it should replace the (e) in the address bar and
the favourites if a user bookmarks your website.

I have an icon with my website, blue background and a cloud :-)
I used to have loads of 'weather' icons that someone posted the
website address for, unfortunately I lost them with the last hard
disk!

Thanks alll the same Andrew.
