My desktop icons change

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Hi,

You need to retrieve and save the associated favicon from the Temporary
Internet Files before it gets deleted as older files are pushed out. Then
redirect the the shortcut using "change icon" in the shortcut properties to
the saved favicon.
