    change icon of html file on my desktop

    Hi,

    When I save out an HTML file to my desktop (I'm using Windows XP), it
    saves with the Firefox icon, presumably because I have Firefox as the
    default application to open my HTML files. Is it possible to have the
    desktop icon be the favicon.ico file of the web site from which I'm
    saving the page?

    Thanks, - Dave

    For any given file-type in Windows, there can be only one icon. That
    is, ALL files with that type must have the same icon.

    However, if you are not saving actual files but instead are saving
    Internet shortcuts, you can have a different icon for each (as described
    by Ed Mullen elsewhere in this thread).

    Have you been using Netscape and now feel abandoned by AOL?
    Then use SeaMonkey. Go to <http://www.seamonkey-project.org/>.
