Problem with folder icons on Desktop   

Win XP Home, FF 2.0.0.21

Quite often the icons will change from a custom icon 
to the plain folder icon, and I must play the game of 
this/that/etc. to change it back to the custom one 
I've made with IfranView.  Even then when I open the 
folder the icons within have change from the old Icons 
to thumbnails and the window(?) as gone from a small 
one to a huge one.

How can I stop this from happening?
(I don't want to use IE or whatever the news reader is.)

Thanks all...
Don

To save those custom icons, right click on the icon, properties, General 
tab, check Read only.

Hi Don
I have, I've about 30 icons I've saved, and used them 
for this, that, and something else.  I even have a 
program called Icon Snatcher in case I don't have one 
for some new program.
Thanks for the reply,
Don

I have a few custom website icons myself; Sons of Italy sites, 'use an 
Italian flag, another Italian site, a Bocce Man and others. And others to 
make easy to find.
