I do not get favicons in IE7. I don't even get the generic "e" icon. I get an ugly square icon. This is happening on tabs and the address bar. Anybody know why this is happening? It has happened since day one with IE7. Never really cared but I am trying out IE7 with IE7 Pro and it is annoying me now that there is no favicons.

Only some sites have them but I have noticed that IE7 doesn't get favicons that firefox does.
I've never really payed much attention to it though since they are wiped after using CCleaner.

Yeah but I don't even get the little e in place of a favicon. I get an ugly square thing.

Not much help with IE but I can pick and choose which icon I use with Firefox with this extension - rather cool

Anthony, one user found a solution that worked for him, read here

Thanks I will look at that and see what I can do.

I love you! That worked like a charm. That favicon thing was something that was bugging me since I updated to IE7. I don't use it much but I am using it more now that I installed IE7 Pro. It just bothered me because I couldn't figure out why it was happening and I did not find a solution using Google search. Problem solved now though. Thank You

Glad you are sorted now Anthony, you will be able to pass the word to others who have the same problem (and I am sure there are lots of them!)
