Favicons are cached very similar to html documents. When they are deleted from the cache, they revert to the standard IE icon. If you want to prevent the icon from disappearing: 1. Create a local directory (IE c:\favicons) 2. Copy the desired favicon into the directory created above. 3. Right click the mouse over the favorite/bookmark and select properties. 4. Enter the path (or use the ‘browse’ feature) to the favicon you want for that bookmark. Another temporary solution is to hold down the mouse button while holding shift over the default IE icon in the address bar and then let go of the mouse button anywhere in the address bar. This seems to ‘update’ the favicon.
