Has anyone got a Destop shortcut they could share for FordForus.com.au as the plain internet explorer one looks crap.


Thanks

Steven

Couldn't this be another challenge for the members, run a comp and let the members decide. I don't have the techo ability to do it, but I'm sure some other members do.

You may want to also make a new favicon.ico instead of the one that is there now

For now, right click on it, go to properties and select change icon. There's about 20 or so to select from.
Icons are a specific file (icon files) so not sure how we'd go saving a created image as one suitable for this.

Get an icon editing program and make one up, then just save in my docs of something like that easy done

And then if its liked by everyone you could certainly use it as a favicon.ico on the domain and change the current one that is there

Jade6 Thanks for the advice. I know about the standard icons and how to download additional ones, but I was actually after a specific FordForums.com.au one for my desktop.

I will try and search for Icon creating programs and let people know how I go.

I made one but you can't upload files with the ICO extension. How can I load it to let others see it.

Take a photo of it
Kinda defeats the whole process of creating the icon.

Create it as a Zip, or Rar, file. That should take care of it.

According to the list of upload files zip files are not on the list and I don't know what a rar file extension is for.

WinRar format, better compression than .zip
