Little Icons on IE6 Favorites

Hello everybody! I am new to the forum and I have a question for the "more knowlegeable" people. It has been bothering me for monts.

As we all know, when you save a "favorite" of a website you are visiting, MS Internet Explorer 6, saves a description of the site (which I can edit) and it also saves a sometimes artistic looking and pretty small icon for that website.

In 24 hours or les that "cute" small icon has been replaced with the rather bland looking IE6 icon.

Is there any way I can save the original icon and not having it replaced by MS IE6?

Any options or priorities I have to set in MS IE6?

Thanks for any help you may send me.

Tired of the Yahoo.com favicon not showing up in your list of IE Favorites? Here's a quick and simple solution:

1. Browse to http://www.yahoo.com/favicon.ico
2. Right click the icon, click 'Save Picture As...', and place the file in a folder of your choice...
3. Browse to the stored file, rename it to 'yahoo.ico', and save...
4. In IE's Favorites menu, scroll to Yahoo.com (you DO have it in your Favorites - right?)...
5. Right click on the name...
6. Click 'Properties'...
7. Click 'Change Icon'...
8. Click 'Browse', and navigate to where you stored the yahoo.ico...
9. Click the file, then click 'Open', which takes you back to the 'Change Icon' dialog...
10. Click 'OK' twice...
11. Close IE, then reopen it...
12. In the Favorites menu, you'll find that Yahoo.com now has its own permanently associated icon...

This will work with any site that has a favicon (you will have to browse to whateversite.com/favicon.ico)...
