Does anyone know how to get these ? I can't seem to find out...

eg - on my desktop shortcuts I have facebook - but the icon is google chrome, and not the " f " logo

and Barclays Bank, same google chrome and not the proper logo ?

Oh db - I'm giving you a BIG rep for all your efforts.........

thank you so much

did what you showed and the site did appear on desktop - but not with the site logo which is what I want !

As it is at the moment, on my desktop I have about 10 shortcuts - but they all have chrome logo !

never mind - these things are sent to try us !

thanks again Very Happy

if you right click mouse on the desktop, and go into properties you can change the icon for some others but probably wont have facebook logo
