  1. AM Deadlink is much easier :lol:

     

    Here's what I do, this only works with Internet Explorer though:

     

    * Open the 'Windows\Temp' folder (or whatever your global Temp folder is) and look for the icon, sometimes they may get stored there depending upon how the site is designed.

     

    * Open the Temporary Internet Files folder whilst Internet Explorer is running and has already loaded the favicon by pressing in the IE toolbar 'Tools\Internet Options' in the Temporary Internet Files section click 'Settings\View Files' then look for the icon. To copy it out of the Temporary Internet Files folder you will have to deal with warning prompts about it being unsafe, etc., however copying the icon shouldn't cause any ill-effects.

     

    * I would then copy it to a safe place such as 'Windows\Icons\Favicons' and rename it to correspond with the website.

     

    * Finally, once in 'Windows\Icons\Favicons' I would then open up the IE Favorites and then right click a link, and select Properties, and manually change the icon to the one I copied.

     

     

     

  2. @Red Dalek - fair point, and the (freeware) solution is to use AM-Deadlink which checks all your favorites and (optionally) downloads your favicons and puts them where IE can't delete them :P

     

    Grab AM-DeadLink 2.06 here

  3. Thanks for a great useful app I use nearly every day.

     

    A small request (a feature I miss from SuperCleaner) - please add Quick Launch Shortcuts to Issues | File Integrity. I find these often get left orphaned after uninstalling some apps.

     

     

     

     

    bump...

  4. This has actually been covered here on the forums before.  It's because when you clean out the cache the favicons are stored in the cache.  They come back if you go to the sites again.

     

     

     

     

    Yes, but if you look at SuperCleaner, it has an option which allows you to clean out the cache but not the favicons if you want. So clearly it would be possible for CCleaner to leave the favicons intact.

  5. Is there a config option to tell CCleaner not to delete favicons? If so, I can't find it...

     

    DjLizard says it is not currently an option, so please can you add this?

     

    Alternatively, see my work around in my reply to Red Dalek below B)

     

    Many thanks for a fine tool!

    Edit:

    Looks like there is no point in me making suggestions as they all get discarded

     

    So I shall leave you all in peace - thanks for CCleaner and good bye.
