I tried searching for this topic but couldn't find anything posted about this. When I make new favorites, sometimes the site has a custom icon and is then shown in the favorites. But, they seem to disappear on me, and now I'm back to all of them being the default IE favorite icon. The last thing I did when some icons disappeared was run a virus scan, after that, all remaining custom icons were gone. Anyone have any recommendations?

Hi,
This happens because of a few reasons:
- You've 'cleaned' the hard drive, emptying your browser cache
- You've had a browser window 'crash', corrupting your 'favicons'
or a few other reasons. The best way to fix it is to delete the website's 'Favourites' entry, and then add it again.

heh heh..
I saw an article recently on how to make them 'stick'.
This question has made me wish I remembered where I saw it, as I'd like to use it myself!
Edit: Here it is!
Revisit the site. That should make the favicon reload into the browser cache. If not, delete the Faourites entry and add it again.
When you've got them all back, download install and use FavOrg

I discovered that some of them change when certain software downloads occur. The program that downloaded "took" the files and put its own icon on them.

That's because the icons are in the files of the previous installation.
