Favorites Icons Disappeared -- Help! - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

BoCo · 08-10-2003, 03:57 PM

FOr some reason, after a reboot, all the icons next to my Favorites in I.E. disappeared. I checked in the C:\Doc&Settings\...\Favorites folder and they're all their, but they aren't showing in the left-hand pane in I.E.

I rebooted a couple times and it didn't fix the problem.

try right clicking one of the links then 'properties' and selecting 'change icon', , if you mean the little e icon that usually appears for IE favourites for .html links etc.

BoCo · 08-10-2003, 04:15 PM

I tried that, but it didn't work.

If you cleared your browser cache that might have deleted the icons. I'm not sure.

Here is a support article that works for 2000. It fixed my problem. It sucks too, but works.

Nope, that didn't do it.

^dude · 08-11-2003, 06:12 AM

Were you using a program to change the icons, such as microangelo?

BoCo · 08-11-2003, 06:22 AM

No, just right-clicking and selecting new icons. They've been there for 2 years, but now they're gone.

Ashton · 08-11-2003, 12:10 PM

Odd, Are the default icons there? or is the space blank?

^dude · 08-11-2003, 12:29 PM

hmmm thats a bit strange, what happens when you try to re assign the icons?

Lasereth · 08-11-2003, 02:07 PM

Hell BoCo, mine does that every damn time I restart. The only way my icons ever stay next to my favorites is if I choose them custom from shell32.dll in Windows XP. All icons that are gained from visiting websites disappear and are replaced with that crappy IE icon that's so damn grungy.

I've never known how to fix this; I simply assign all of my webpages on my Favorites list an icon from shell32.dll. They always stay now.

Ashton, you rule. For some reason, when I clicked the link in the auto-reply email after you posted, all my icons came back when IE loaded. Before, it was just a blank space, but now they're back!n TFP has saved me once again.
