Hi everyone. I have a couple of questions, hopefully someone can help me out. 1. When I bookmark a site in IE6, I notice in my list of favorites that the newly bookmarked site has it's own icon beside it's name.

Hi everyone. I have a couple of questions, hopefully someone can help me out.
 
1. When I bookmark a site in IE6, I notice in my list of favorites that the newly bookmarked site has it's own icon beside it's name. After a while, I notice it has the regular blue "e" icon beside it (like all other bookmarks). Is there any way to have all my bookmarks keep their initial "custom" icons?
 
2. Is anyone aware of a program that stores all your Windows appearance settings, so you can merge them into your registry next time you do a fresh install of Windows. What I mean is, after I finish a fresh installation, I spend 1/2 an hour setting up Windows to look the way I like it (fonts, window colors, desktop color, etc, etc). I really dislike going through this process after every install.
If there is such a program, do you think I could use it to implement all the registry tweaks I do as well? I know that the registry is very specific to the current setup of the pc, but I almost always setup identically (partition wise also) every time.

Have you tried backing up your system state? It should be an option under the Backup utility.

for your first question, the problem is that the icons are initially stored in the temporary internet files, and they get cleared out after a while. PCMag made a utility to fix that.... you can download it here: FavOrg
