If I get IE to make a shortcut to PGPSW in Favourites, it has the PGPSW logo. If I then copy this to my desktop, W7 sticks in a stupid globe instead. On my lappy. its OK. Any ideas?

You know about pinned sites and jumplists in Win7, right?

Thanks for that. I detest pinned sites as you can't open your home page from a new tab. I tried the hold down Shift whilst dragging the url icon to the desktop, which worked OK for different PGPSW pages and got the PGPSW icon, but when I tried with the New Posts URL, it just gave me the stupid world icon again. I have the same problem with Ebay as well.

If I change the very last bit of the URL from 'search_id=newposts' to 'search_id=egosearch' , I get the PGPSW icon, cange it back to newposts and the damn icon changes back to the stupid globe. Arrrrrrgh

Fixed the PGPSW new posts one by adding favicon.ico to the URL line as in 'http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=search&search_id=newposts/favicon.ico' Very Happy Does not work for EBAY though Sad
