On this page I am making available some favicons I have collected. You may download the zip file containing the icons in the box above, plus this background of two of our favorite people on ZDTV:-), or you may right click on the icons below you want to save and select  "save target as...".  If you simply click on the picture you will be taken to a page displaying only a picture of the icon.

 
Here are the other favicons I have collected so far: Right click on the picture, then select "save target as..." to save the icon. Note: the actual icons don't have the white space you see around them here.
 
compuserve icon Compuserve msnbc icon  msnbc leoville icon Leoville   Webmonkey  Date and time

If you would like the favicon for this site, you may get it here.  (remember to right-click, then save target as)
 
 

Using the icons

Note: these icons can be used in any version of I.E. So even if you don't have I.E. 5.0 you can use them.  I have had a person with I.E. 5.0, 4.0, and even 3.2 test them for me. To change your icons in IE any version do this:  Right click on the favorites' entry whose icon you wish to change.  Now select properties/browse.  Now just find the folder you unzipped these icons to and select the one you want.

 

Saving favicons

If you have IE 5.0 and wish to save the favorite icons to use when they are overwritten in your temporary internet files,  do a search for favicon.  Copy the ones you want and place them in the folder where you keep any other icons you have.  There seems to be a problem with IE 5.0 losing it's ability to show these icons, so I recommend you do this if you want to keep this feature.
 

How to get more favicons

If you would like an icon for other sites that don't have a favicon, go to that site,
copy any appropriate logo, making sure to save it as a bitmap. Click on the arrow beside save as type, and select bitmap.   Now find the new bitmap and rename with an ico extension.  Then you can change any icon you please in any version of I.E.  Or you can e-mail me and give me the url of the page you want a favicon for and I will add it to this page.  If you have some favicons you have collected and would like to share them with the rest of us, send them to me and I will post them here for you.

I find these special icons make it much easier to find the file you want in your favorites folder, especially if you have many entries in your folder.
