    Desktop Icons
    Hello, I have a problem changing Icons on my desktop. When I create a shortcut from a website, I most always get that letter "e" with the yellow stripe and the check mark. I have tried changing the icon by clicking on "properties", "change icon", " choosing one from the list and clicking "apply" and then "ok" but nothing happens. I had no problem doing this with my old Windows 98 program. What am I doing wroing?

    Not all Websites have icons to display. In the absence of an icon the defailt IE icon is used.
