Also, some sites have favicons that are incompatible with vista for some reason. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-desktop-icons#post-2124 Mon, 24 Sep 2007 17:19:42 +0000 twirlinggeek 2124@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I just got a Acer Laptop with Vista. When I create a desktop shortcut for a website that has a Favicon the icon does not show up on the desktop. If I right-click and go to properties I see the favicon icon as the icon but for some reason Vista isn't displaying it. I don't know if it is a vista issue or an Acer issue. It is not an IE issue because the favicon shows up on the webpage and on the properties when opened.</p> <p>How can I get the icon to appear on the desktop?</p> <p>thanks,</p> <p>Jill </p>
