Desk Top Icons
    #15664133 - 01/14/12 07:22 AM (12 years, 2 months ago)

i switch between using firefox 9.0.1 and google chrome but i do rely more heavily on FF... i've created a few short cuts to the desk top by dragging the icon in the navigation field to the desk top. it always produces a short cut image to a document instead of the websites icon... some are actual documents but a number are the website home pages and i was wondering if it's possible to apply the websites icon found in the navigation field?


thanks to anyone with a good answer...

Sure; it's easy to change an icon. Right-click the shortcut, select 'properties', go to the 'shortcut' tab, and click 'change icon'. Then browse to the folder/file that contains the icon you'd like to use. You'll find the Chrome icons in the Chrome program folder, etc. The Windows default icons are located in Windows' system folder, in the file shell32.dll.

i knew i could change it and once again i really appreciate you reaching out but i'm interested in specifically using the websites icon if possible. is there a particular folder that FF stores this info? by the way i'm running windows xp just in case you need that info...

Ahhhh...I misunderstood that, sorry. Well, you can always manually download the icon; simply go to the website, append '/favicon.ico' (without the '') to the address, press enter, and save the displayed picture in the folder where you'd like to store it. Then change the shortcut icon to the icon you just saved.

They are tiny though. You could custom make the icons if you use photoshop, then you could make them a lil more high res.

Not necessarily. I downloaded one to test and it turned out to be 32x32. Not exactly gigantic, but sometimes, you can get lucky enough so that you don't have to put in additional work :laugh:
