I have a client who has about 30 Internet Explorer shortcuts on his Desktop.
Each has a graphic from the originating site with the sites logo. It helps
him identify each easily. We recently installed a new computer and
transferred the shortcuts. BUT the graphics are missing, all shortcuts have
the standard Blue E. How do I get the graphic icon transferred and setup on
the new computer?

Windows and IE versions on both machines?

How did you "transfer the shortcuts"?

Windows XP on the first machine, shortcuts were copied over the LAN to a
Windows 2003 Server. The user is now using Terminal Server for his desktop.
The Internet Explorer Shortcuts are all there just the cool graph picture
for sites like Google etc. are missing.

Regular copy and paste

If the correct icons don't appear over time, you could:

1. Assign the correct icon to the shortcut manually and mark it Read Only.

2. Recreate each shortcut.

All of this is dependent on both TIF and Icon Cache.

It's not that easy. The graphics are hard to locate. They seem to be
embeded in system DLL's that cannot be moved to the server because the
server already has these files in use.
