CHANGING ICONS ON THE LINKS TOOLBAR
If you're using the Internet Explorer 4.0 Links toolbar to provide quick access to your most often accessed Web sites, you know that each link shows the same icon. Fortunately, you can spice up your Links toolbar by assigning custom icons to each item. To do so, simply right-click on the existing icon and select Properties from the shortcut menu. Then, click the Change Icon button and use the Browse button to locate a file that contains the icon you want, and then double-click on it.
