No, just the little yellow folder icon that you'd normally see (in XP) when
you click the "Favourites" button above the address bar in IE6. The little
yellow icon normally would appear to the left of each of the 'favourite'
websites you've saved. Well it doesn't with mine !!. It's annoying as i
cannot tell if my favourites are folders containing a group of favourite
links, or the direct links themselves !!
I have taken a screen shot of what i'm trying to put across, it's at
http://tinypic.com/bjixhw.jpg Yet when i click the "Favourites" heading
from the text line in IE6 (i.e. where the File, Edit, View, FAVOURITES,
Tools are), the icons ARE there - Very Strange !!
Thanks
Andy
