Icon on Internet Explorer Tab.

Greetings,

I have noticed something happing on the Tabs for Internet Explorer 7.0.6... Using Vista Ultimate with SP1.

In my Links, I have this web site, Autoblog.com, and the other day I notice its icon was eBay's icon.

I ran AM-Deadlink to get the Favicons. It updated the icon on the Favorite List.

But when I bring up that web site, in the Tab of Internet Explorer it still shows embay's icon. eBay's site is the generic icon.

This is the only that I notice at this time.

Hi W. Kirk,

You can delete the Temporary Internet Files to clear the favicons on the tab and in the address bar to have IE reload them when you go back to the site. This should reset them and have the proper ones showing again. This tutorial will show you how to if needed.

Internet Explorer Browsing History

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: Icon on Internet Explorer Tab.

Shawn,

Thanks, but I had to reboot the other day and everything seems to back to normal.

I find it odd that the icons would change like that.

By the way, this is my laptop, and I leave in on/then it hibernates. But ever now and then,
I get updates that require a reboot. There has been times where it has been on for over
a week.

Thanks.

W. Kirk,

I'm glad to hear that it is back to normal now. My uptime gets up there sometimes, but since I'm always experimenting, I usually end up having to restart the computer often. LOL
