Re: onlinegames.gen & heuri-e

It's likely to be inteference from one of your security programs. Webroot has been known to be a bit invasive.

Try disabling Webroot. Then delete & recreate those favorite links.

See if that helps

Re: onlinegames.gen & heuri-e

Another way of doing it would be to use this tip from http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Scroll down to the bit where it says ... "FavOrg - Restore and Save Favorite Icons"

Re: onlinegames.gen & heuri-e

Spoke too soon.....

Tried both above actions and it seemed to work, then as soon as I visit the affected sites it reverts back to the wrong icons

Will (privately) post another screenshot which has been created AFTER running favorg and AFTER it all seemed to be fixed!

Re: onlinegames.gen & heuri-e

Try clearing your temporary internet files cache. Those mistaken icons have to reside somewhere. Once they're removed, there shan't be anymore misrepresentation.

Re: onlinegames.gen & heuri-e

Had a better idea - I've moved to firefox

Everything now resolved.

Feel free to close this thread - I will start another with the next PC
