Default Useless DIY - Create AF Favorites icon in Windows Explorer Favs

OK, because I don't have the tools or knowledge to tinker with my A4 (that's why I'm on AF afterall), I'll waste some time with a nearly useless contribution to the forum -- adding an Explorer Favorites Icon for AF.

Tired of seeing the lame generic Windows Explorer icon next to AudiFourm when Audzine and Audi World have a cool icon? Use this most helpful DIY to add a custom, lowered, chipped, boosted, cropped, smoked out AF icon.

- OK, the lame part is, you have to get this icon in the correct format, ".ico" I don't know how to post the .ico file itslef for you to download, so copy or download this icon to your hard drive:
Name:  AudiForumIcon.gif
Views: 33
Size:  1.1 KB

- Next you have to convert it to the correct file format ".ico" If you want, PM me and I can just email it to you.

Once you've saved the icon, go to this site to convert it to ".ico"

http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

- Now that you've got the "favicon.ico" saved to your hard drive, you can update the favorites icon.


- Click on Favorites, see lame generic Windows Explorer icon next to AudiForum

Nice but how about for a useful web browser like FF?
