IE 5.5 site icons disappear?

[Bud Guy]

In my favorites, the individual icons for each web site have disappeared and have been replaced with the generic windows icon. This has happened before, I had to re-bookmark all my sites, even then, some icon's did not come back. There has to be a better way?

Anyone?
Thanks in advance

The clearing of icons occurs when you empty out the Temporary Internet Files folder in your windows directory, which i assume you have been doing. I don't know how you get around this problem, other than not emptying that folder.

You can try this little free program from PC Mag
FavOrg
It will restore the icons and check for dead links. Kinda cool.

I forgot to metion that it lets you set up a seperate folder to put the icons in so they don't get trashed.
