Changing the icon of downloading files to be distinct from webpages

Hi

I know IE6 is over and out and I'm offcourse running IE8, but as I remember IE6 had one great advantage:

I'm a graphic designer/web designer and in our company we use many external libraries for graphics, HTML coding and so on. These I download when I need them and at the same time I have a lot of open windows in FrontPage, Creator, and especially in IE to see the work I'm doing.

What bothers me, is when you have, let's say 25, Internet Explorer windows open, you can't distinguish a file being downloaded from a IE webpage. This leads to clicking bunches of windows before coming to a window with webcontent. In IE6, as I remember, the "content windows/webpages" had the IE logo/icon in one blue color and the downloading files had the logo/icon in a darker blue color - easy to figure out!

Sadly this has gone since IE7, is there any way to fix this !?

Thanks a lot

Poul
