It appears to me that this change also removes the ability in IE for displaying custom 
icons for websites. That is, when you add some sites to your Favorites, they come 
with a customized icon in the Favorites list. Can anyone confirm this, and indicate 
whether there is a fix?

I recall that deleting your history and cache also affects these customized icons, 
in terms of removing them or adding new ones. But it doesn't seem to have an effect 
after making these registry changes.

Don't forget that the "favicons" supplied by some websites get deleted when you empty your temp net files. Of course, if you re-visit the site, its favicon will be restored, only to be deleted the next time your temp nets are cleaned out. You can stop this from happening by copying the favicon to another location and assigning it to the website's shortcut (presuambly on your favorites list). But the reg change that you inquired about first will override that, so .....

There is a easy fix without poking around in microsoft places. A little program called "Favorg" which will save all the favicons and keep them displayed in your favourites menu permanantly.

Is that in fact the case? On Friday, August 27, 2004 at 2:16 pm, Doug wrote: >Yes. There is a easy fix without poking around in microsoft places.

I always use if possible some program to do the dirty work for me because 99.9% of the time they have been designed by and tested by someone that specialises in that particular problem, (ie: messing with the registry) Is there any way you can get back to where you started like having a registry backup?.
