Hi guys,

Quickie, does anyone know how to create your own graphic when someone drags a shortcut from the browser to the desktop, so instead of seeing the default IE icon you can have your own icon/logo?

Also, the same for having your own little image appear in the address bar on the far left hand side?

Cheers for any help you can provide.......this one has been doing my box in! :)

I'm not sure if you can do that or not. I imagine that since the link is to an html page, it chooses the default program that opens files that type of file and uses that programs icon to represent it. If you found a site that has something like that, post it and maybe someone can figure it out.

It should be somewhere in the Metadata. Don't know the exact tags out of my head, but I'll check them when I'm home.
