Hi. What I would like is for the shortcuts on my desktop to have the picture as the shortcuts on my bookmarks bar?
When I drag short cuts to my desktop I have the firefox logo. What I would like is for them to appear as they do on my bookmark tool bar with the logo of the page I visit. I can recognise the logo better than the name.

You can drag the favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create a shortcut.
If you create an internet shortcut that way then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.
If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).
You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".
Thank you Cor-el. That does not seem to work, I did it for a few websites to check, I am running windows 7 if that makes any difference.
