I have a question about Change the icon for Internet Shortcuts:

I think I found a solution for this problem. At first my apollogies for my spelling because I come from Holland. What I do for this problem is the following: First I don't make a shortcut directly to the webpage (URL) but instead I SAVE the webpage (I want to make shotcut of) by "file > Save as" and then save this webpage in whatever folder. Then I shut down IE and go to my desktop. From my desktop I make a shortcut to the webpage I just saved. This is mostly a .mht or an .html file. This icon you can change by usin the rightclick on the icon and then go to "properties > change icon". I hope this will solve the problem for you.

But you would then have to keep the Page in that Folder as Reference,otherwise the 
Shortcut would revert to a Generic Icon?Quite a bit of useless Ballast to have on 
the Machine,when you have a number of Shortcuts.Why not just save the Favicon and 
be done with.There was a Program from PC-Magazin one time that used to let you do 
that.
