>>I have a reasonable question for a self-indulgent reason. I wanted to know more about the custom icon that sometimes appears next to the URL in the browser's address bar. (If unspecified, it is just a generic browser file icon.)
>>
>>First of all, what is the icon called? "Site icon" or "URL icon" or something else?
>>
>>How is the icon which is used determined?
>>
>>Is it done per-page, like any other image, or per site, like a cookie?
>>
>>I imagine that in HTML, it would belong in the header, but I haven't been able to find anything. Are they .ico files?
>>
>>On the browser's client machine, where are these images stored?
>>
>>Is it in the web cache like images in pages or in a special place, similar to cookies?
>>
>>Some of my saved links retain the icon, some don't. The icons for saved bookmarks/favorites sometimes last a while, then disappear, leading me to believe that they probably are stored in the web cache. Might there be a way for me to save the icon with other Windows apps icons elsewhere so that they persist after I empty my web cache?
>>
>>It would depend on if the browser looks outside the cache for .ico files, but at the crudest, I could write a .BAT file to copy them back into my web cache after I empty it.
>>
>>Are "URL icons" supported by all browsers?
>>
>>I would like it if my Favorites/Bookmarks menu would retain these icons; they make it visually easier to locate a specific link without actually reading the text for each one.
