I believe you are referring to a "favicon".  Its an icon that displays in the address bar of a website.  This is something that is controlled on the server side.\n\nThe below site enables you to generate a favicon for your own site by uploading a picture and having it converted.  You of course still need to upload it to your own server for others to then view.\n\nhttp://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/\n\nAlso check out the following reference:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon

Those are called "favicons". They are stored in the Temporary Internet folder when you visit the website. When that folder gets emptied, the favicon is deleted and reverts back to blue Explorer.\nThe only way that I know to keep them is to find the favicon in the  Temporary Internet folder, copy and paste it into another folder. Then highlight your favorite website in favorites, right click, select properties, change icon, browse and locate the folder that has the favicon. I did this and haven't lost an icon since. What a pain in the butt.

You can right click on a file (say a PDF or MP3 file) and click on "Get Info". You will see a "Opens with" tab. Choose or search for the application to open it with. You may also click "Change All..." to apply this to all files with this extension.\n\nThis may sometimes seem to not work. For example even when you click "Change All.." files in other directories may show a different application icon. But despite that your new associations will work. A simple logout will solve this issue too though.\n\nHope this helps!

The "small folder" next to the check box denotes that that person is a member of your contact list. It provides a quick way to see that particular contacts details. Click on it and you'll see what I mean. As far as I know, it can't be removed. \n\np.s. It's actually supposed to be an icon of a rolodex file, rather than an envelope.

I can find it with no problem. It might be worth centring the images on the page though, but otherwise it looks good - well done. Gallery is spelt with a 'y' at the end, however, not 'ie' :)\n\nThe only suggestion I can make is that your system is using a cached version from before the site was up. Go to the site, and then press CTRL & F5 together, and that should re-download the index page from the server.

First, you have to create a logo for your site; a very tiny logo to be specific. The size of the logo should be 16x16 pixels and it should be saved as a Windows icon file (logo.ico for example). If your image editor doesn't support saving files in Windows icon format, you can use the following online tool or download an icon editor from a shareware site.\n \n\nOnce you have an icon file with your logo, you're ready to take the final step. Following methods will work in Explorer 5.x and higher without having any negative effects on other browsers.\n \nMethod 1\n\n    This is the easiest method to implement and it will work regardless of the particular page on your site users choose to add to their favorites list. Don't worry if you don't have access to your web site root; take a look at the next method.\n     \n    If you have access to the root of your web site, simply save your icon file as "favicon.ico" there. For example, if your web site is "www.chami.com", your icon file should be available at "www.chami.com/favicon.ico". The web browser will look for favicon.ico whenever your site is added to the favorites list and if it is found at the root of your web site, the icon will appear next to the link to your site. \n\n \nMethod 2\n\n    If you don't have access to the root of your web site, you have to add the following tag to your web page so that the browser will know where to look for your icon. Unlike before, this time you can save the icon under any name ending with ".ico" We'll use the name "logo.ico" and assume that your web site is under the directory "~your_directory".\n     \n    <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON"\n           HREF="/~your_directory/logo.ico">\n    Listing #1 : HTML code. Download logo.htm (0.2 KB).\n     \n        NOTE:Above tag should be inserted in-between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags.\n\n \nBy the way, you can specify multiple logos for multiple pages using the second method. Simply save your icons using unique names, such as logo1.ico, logo2.ico, logo3.ico for example, and replace "logo.ico" in the above HTML code with the name of the icon you want to use for any particular page.

Where exactly is this modem icon that you have a red background?  I'm not sure where to find that in Internet Explorer or in the Control Panel.  Please describe exactly where it is and what program you are using to see it so that we can have a better look at what's going on with your computer.

Tough to diagnose without knowing what kind of file it is.\n\n\nWhat is the full file name?\n\nI would also try to download it first, then open it, intead of opening it up from the internet.

Tools -> Folder Options -> File types\nSelect the extension of the file,\nAdvance -> Change Icon -> Select the first one.\n\nYou can mail/ping me if you still need help.

Images on a webpage load seperately from a different location at the website's hosting server. Each image has to carry its own "address" as to the location of the image. Unfortunately, due to a fault of the website manager, the image is not where it should be. Consequently, a box representing the shape of the image appears on the webpage with that annoying little red cross in the top left corner. There is no way of viewing it until the webpage writer rectifies the problem at the server.

Why would  you think it would show up in my documents, either right click on start and then click explore and then click on the D:&#92;, or click start>my computer>d:&#92;. my documents is only a folder to keep docs, pictures and videos.

It could be a number of things.  I would first check what type of link that it is and check that your file associations are correct.  For instance if you are clicking the link to a JPG file then you should see something like Windows Picture and Fax viewer come up.  You can check file associations by finding the type of file you were trying to open (html, jpg, etc) and then go to the properties and make sure it is associated properly.\n\nPop up blocker?  This could also cause the problem.\n\nMaybe even something in your IE cache that has caused an issue.  Empty your temp internet folder and all files, then also go reset your security for the internet zone.

Start/ My Computer/ Local Disk/ Documents and Settings/Select folder that is your user name/ Favorites/ select a folder/ View/ List/ View/ Arrange icons by/ name That will put them in alphabetical order in the folder that you selected . You can do it with all of your sub-folders and even create new folders and drag and drop or cut and paste to get your folders set up the way that you like and rename the sub-folders.

Sounds to me like it is actually an active desktop item. Left click on it and a border may appear. Then x it

nowhere, if you go into ''my computer'' and click ''tools'' and goto "folder options" put the dot beside ''show hidden files and folders'' under the "view'' tab
