    When you first drag a link down from the Address bar onto the Links toolbar itself, it usually has its own icon that stays with it. However this icon doesn't stay with it after the computer has been powered off and it reverts back to the default icon ( IE page icon).
    Anyone know of a way to keep these Icons permanently?

    [CM] While an alternative browser is safer, the inquiry was about how to use the current one. Also no info was posted on how to achieve the desired aim in the alternative browser.

    cupthehand, AFAIK this is to do with IE not associating the icon with the page until it has been opened. IE doesn't keep a record of what icon should be used.

    your internet explorer is having a problem displaying favicons

    here's 2 screenshots, one of IE6 & one of Firefox.
    see the difference?

    this link might explain / help

    same will happen if you add the site to your favourites in IE
