Internet Explorer Favorites, custom website icons disappearing
Expand Post »
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?

Favorite icons will disappear after a while, they are not permanent (part of the History). Here's FavOrg, and an article on it: Clean Up Your Favorites.

I had the same problem to. I did a disk cleanup and they all were gone, I've went to A LOT of webt sites to get help but no one knew what the hell i was talking about. I some how got 2 icons back. And I tried what you said, deleted them from my favorites and readded them but only one came back, the others wont. What gives?

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.

I have had a similar problem for years. My letters in my icons and in explorer disappear and the only way to recover them is to reboot.
Then I surf for several more hours, they deteriorate and turn blank and the only thing to do is reboot again.
