Remove favoicons in ie?

[Foppah]

Is it possible to always automaticly remove favoicons in ie? I would like to always have the standard icons instead of favoicons from some sites.

Now I manually change icon for every link and I don't like it.

hmm... well, you can go into your Temporary Internet Files folder

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

and just delete every item that is 'favicon.ico'

When I ran this vbs I got an error saying "Permission denied".

This is what I would expect from my experience with the Temp Int Files folder.

Perhaps someone else would care to try this out.

Recently someone posted a cmd script here to do something like that, but it only clears the whole of Content.IE5 folder (which is a subfolder).

This should do it

@echo off
pushd %userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /s/b favicon*.ico') do del "%%a"
popd
