Hi,

I occassionally create shortcuts from my IE browser for a particular site/page and put these on the desktop (by dragging and dropping from the upper left corner). Normally, when I do this, the icon that appears on the desktop is a standard IE icon.

I just did this a couple days ago with www.Google.com and the icon was the same as every other IE shortcut. However, when I turned my machine on the next day and logged in, the icon for the Google shortcut changed to a custom icon.

How did they do that?

I know you can change the icon for a shortcut by using the Properties dialog, but I didn't touch this. What did Google do to make this happen? And how can I do the same in case other users want to create a shortcut from one of my sites?

Guy
