Greetings,
I would like to know if there is a possibility to include an option in future releases of CC Cleaner, that is capable of cleaning the websites icons that stay in our Favorites folder.
Is really awful to see some of our Favorites url's with icons and others without it (I think they're called .ico files, I don't know), and to say the truth, I rather prefer to not have icons at all and clean them all constantly (I clean very often my IE cookies, historic, etc., and use CC Cleaner everyday many times per day).
I use Windows Vista Home Premium 64 and Internet Explorer 7.
If CC Cleaner could do this, it would be great.
Regards,
PS: This is the first time I visit the board, if this question was already answered, pardon me.

Welcome to Piriform Rojolas.
Well these icons are generally fixed by the site you saved the favorite link for or its set by Windows. You can change these icons yourself. Right-click on the favorite and select Properties and there is a Change Icon button. Find the icon you want to use and Apply.

Greetings Keithuk,
Sure, but it should be a way of erasing the website icon, and put it again just like a normal and default IE icon. Changing icon per icon is a mission impossible, it takes too many time and patience.
The idea was, if possible, CC Cleaner to erase all these different icons that websites have and that stick in our favorite / URL's / Browser, and put them all just like default, IE symbol.
Don't know if that's possible, but it would be great.

I like AM-DeadLink to set the icons ( FavIcons ):

The FavIcons come from the site in the Favorites and I prefer them to the boring IE icon.

Well I must be lucky because I only get 1 URL short-cut per week that needs changing to the default IE icon. But if you have them many and its a big task for you to change them then I this you will be out of luck asking if CC can change the iocns for you.
