Yea, glad you got it fixed. My own icon for Favorites is the right one &
always has been. That's interesting... in Windows Explorer, I cannot see
a Desktop.ini in "C:\WINDOWS\Favorites". However, it is accessible in a
DOS box, & here it is...
C:\>type C:\WINDOWS\Favorites\Desktop.ini
[.ShellClassInfo]
CLSID={1A9BA3A0-143A-11CF-8350-444553540000}
[ExtShellFolderViews]
{5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}=%windir%\web\favorite.htm
....And here is the Registry key that defines that CLSID. This is also
the only mention of that CLSID in my Registry...
