    When we add a particular webpage to favourites, how can we made a special icon appear in the favourites too, instead of just the normal display of html icon?

    The thread listed below explains a bit more what Fav Icons are and how to retain them.

    loopers--Abraxas program works fine if the site has downloaded a "special" icon (Favicon) when you created the Favorite. However, if no such Favicon was downloaded, the site probably does not have one. Not all sites do.
    However, you can check by putting the URL of the Favorite you just created in the Address bar, followed by /favicon.ico, and hitting Enter. If the site has a Favicon, it will be displayed and you can click File|Save for use by FavOrg.
    And, even the site has no Favicon, you can associate any icon with the Favorite to which you have access to by right clicking on the Favorite|click Properties|Change Icon and Browse for some other icon.
