    Why do I lose those damn favorite icons every few days!?

    Wierd, sometimes the browser may sort of crash or not repsond, I close my window then re-open it.
    It goes back to the boring default icons lookin' like little folders and won't restore the pretty little website icons unless I click on them again.
    POR QUE?!?!?!!?

    Happens to me on both Firefox and IE.

    Wonder if it's something that's automatically cleaning up my history files and cookies or something.

    I don't think I have ever had this problem. What exactly happens?

    If you download and install a little program called FavOrg you will not lose your icons. This program works with IE, but I don't know if it will work with firefox. I have used this program for several years and it works just fine.

    You could also save the icons yourself. When you save a link that has an icon, go into the Temporary Internet Files folder in your profile, look for any "favicon.ico" files and save them to a folder(ie. My Pictures\Icons), then right click on the link in Favorites, click Change Icon and go to where you saved the icon you want to use.

    I haven't tried FavOrg yet, but it sounds interesting. Might try it out when I get home from work.
