restoring url shortcut icons / favicons Sunday, August 31, 2008 at 2:19 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jos K (1 messages posted) Restoring the desktop/favorites icons/favicons has been a major headache for me - nothing seemed to work - it always defaulted to some dull system icon - and the extension '.url' showed, whatever registry change I tried (it did not even seem to matter whether or not the key 'NeverShowExt' was in the registry). I found the fix in a .reg file from mvp Doug Knox at www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm. Solved it in seconds!
