something weird is going on with my ie favorites, they wern't in any particular order but the other day i noticed they went alphabetical order from bottom to top but every now and then they keep swapping around sometimes they are top to bottom then sometimes they are bottom to top and its really annoying does anyone know why this keeps happening

Click start then favourites, move pointer (mouse cursor) to 3rd or 4th from top, right click and click on sort by name.

That will sort it.

@leesmithg - how do you keep your favourites icons? All mine are just listed with the blue IE icon.

Have you cleared your Browser cache and temp files if so that will clear them out there is a program that keeps the Favicons in place here it is.

Well what I have done for some time is check the website has it's own fav ico file, so enetering https://www.nameofwebsite.extension (org, net, com etc) and /favicon.ico (make sure you add site to favourites).

So icon will be at https://www.blahblah.com/favicon.ico

Should display fav icon file. Save that to desktop rename it then goto favourites mine is located in:

C:\Documents and Settings\Lee\Favorites

Add icons or bitmaps to C:\Documents and Settings\Lee\Favorites\Fav-Cons

Folder, find in C:\Documents and Settings\Lee\Favorites it's matching .html or .htm, right click it properties, change icon then search back to C:\Documents and Settings\Lee\Favorites\Fav-Cons click on icon, ok apply.

Keep doing that till you do all ones which have fav icons at web site you add to favourites.

If none I usually use some foood icons or some I made myself. https://www.foood.net for icons etc.

If you don't understand pm me and I will write it and graphically show it step by step.

Ohh yeah you internet cache also shows icons from site, however once you clear it they are gone.

Yeah just unzip it and run the setup file, It will even keep all the Favicons when the Cache is cleared out and will even keep them when Ccleaner is used.
