I think it is not possible to save it directly with the web page's icon but you can change its icon from properties of the shortcut file.\n\nto go to favorites folder type "favorites" in Start>Run.

Export them.  Assuming that you are using a version of Internet Explorer:-\nFrom the Menu Bar (usually hidden in Internet Explorer 7 - find it by clicking Tool>Menu Bar)\nThen\nClick File>Import and Export...\nNext\nExport Favourites (select the favourites you want and a location to export to)\nClick OK\n\nThis will export all your favourites to your hard drive from where you can copy them to a floppy disk, memory stick or other storage device.\n\nThen at your work computer:-\nFrom the Menu Bar\nClick File>Import and Export...\nNext\nImport Favourites (select the favourites and where you want them imported to)\nOK\n\nDepending on your work's computer security policy, you might have to ask permission to bring in a floppy disk or memory stick from home and use it in your work PC.

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.

Just go to your Start menu and look for the IE icon again. It should be located in your Programs list. Its just a shortcut so you can basically "drag" the icon back onto your desktop or your taskbar.\n\nIf you have XP, you can drag any shortcut anywhere. \n\nIf you dont have XP then go to my Computer and then C drive. Go to program files and then look for your IE folder. Find the icon for IE, right click on it, copy it. Then just paste it into your taskbar.

Wellll, IE6 and below store those icons, known as "favicons", in a temporary folder.  So, when you close your browser or clear the temp folder, the favicons are cleared from the system and the next time you open your browser, the only icon next to each favorite is the default blue IE "e".  There are software applications that you can buy or even get free that will allow you to save those icons.  However, the new IE7, which is available for free through http://update.microsoft.com, now automatically saves the favicons in the favorites center.\n\nThe above answerer is incorrect on the favicon issue in IE7.  We recently downloaded this browser.  No probs so far.  There's the red Y of Yahoo, the green star of Y!Answers, the black fist of Howard Stern, etc.  Plus, we love the tabs!

It depends on what "preferences" you are talking about.\n\n1.  Right click on start\n2.  Left click on Explore\n3.  When Windows Explorer opens up, left click on Control Panel, icons for things such as your mouse and internet should appear in the left hand frame\n4.  Double left click on any of the icons to open the properties dialog box for that item, and change your options there

On Internet Explorer 7 click the gold star on the left of the toolbar, or press Alt + c on your keyboard to get your Favorites, and if you want the Menu Bar with File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, and Help to show, click Tools (an icon that looks like a gear) on the bottom right of the toolbar, a menu pops up, click Menu Bar, or right click a vacant space on the toolbar, a menu pops up, click Menu Bar. \n\nIf you only need the Menu Bar with File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, and Help to appear temporarily just press the Alt key on your keyboard. This way your toolbar doesn't take up as much of your screen. If you want it to stay permanently, right click on a vacant space on the toolbar and click Menu Bar.\n\nThese links can also be helpful.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/community/columns/ie7_toolbar.mspx\nhttp://www.uwec.edu/help/internet.htm\n\nInternet Explorer 7 Tour\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/tour/fre/default.mspx

If it displays a message, what is it? and what operating system are you running (98, XP, NT... ect.)...\n\nif you are running windows XP, you should be able to access your favorites folder (without using IE), by folowing these steps:\n\nopen up "my computer"\n\nopen your "C" drive, you may get a little warning, saying something like "don't change things... bla bla bla", anyways, if you do, click "show contents" (or something like that)\n\nyou will se a folder called "Documents and Settings", open it\n\nin this folder, you will se a list of "names", or "accounts" on your computer (like whatever you log in as)\n\nif you see the name you use to log in, open that folder\n\nin there, there will be a folder called "Favorites" (BINGO!)\n\nopen it, and guess what you'll find?... anyways, if that works (and doesn't crash your system), you can double click one of the favorites to open it, you can also copy them wherever you like... as for getting the "favorites menu" to work in IE, I'll have to appologize, since my glasses arn't that thick... but if you cannot open your folder (or if you do, and the system freezes again) you can send me an e-mail by clicking my icon, and going to my profile, and I will do the best I can.

Should be easy to fix but may need a little more info.\n\nFor those that suggest doing a system restore.....think of sledgehammers and nuts.\n\nFirstly - does your Yahoo icon actually open Internet Explorer when you double click on it?  If so, all that has happened is that the icon is wrong and the link is fine.  To change the icon, right click on the shortcut, click on the Shortcut tab and select the "Change Icon" button.  You'll then be able to find the usual IE icon.\n\nIf your Yahoo icon does NOT open IE...\n\nIn Windows Explorer go to \n\nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;<username>&#92;Start Menu&#92;Programs\n\nHere you'll (probably) see a short cut to IE.  Right click on it and the click Copy.\n\nGo back to your desktop and in a blank area right click and then click Paste.
