Running XP on my netbook, When I create a new desktop shortcut to a web page (such as Amazon) the logos are all the same image, a mozilla logo. How do I allow new shortcut icons to show the correct company logo?

If firefox is your default web browser then all html and url links will have a firefox logo on it.

There is a Boolean pref browser.shell.shortcutFavicons on the about:config page to control this, but it may not work properly on Windows XP, so this pref is disbled on your platform.
