This dosent appear to be a viable solution for IE7 - so far I cant find where it stores its ico files if at all

It stores them in Temporary Internet Files. :weird:

I was going to say that, but I thought "There's no way that can be right because wouldn't that be the first place someone looked? I must be mistaken."

But of course I was not mistaken because hurrr that's where IE7 stores them.

er, so why didnt windows search find any *.ico files then...?

Obviously in this instance it must store them somewhere else, which I havent found yet..

Or, because Temporary Internet Files is a hidden folder, and windows search does not search in hidden folders unless you tell it to.

Just go to the folder and look already. Start -> Run -> "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\"

The real happy place for IE is a folder it won't even let you browse to. Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 has all sorts of internety crap in it. The only way to get there is to type it in your address bar.

Oddly enough, even IE6 and IE7 have it.

You can, but only by breaking the Temporary Internet Files folder:

If you run these two commands, you can view Temporary Internet Files like a normal folder - but you won't be able to sort it by things such as last accessed date, etc., anymore.
You should be able to fix it up by just renaming the desktop.inx back to desktop.ini, though:

attrib "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Desktop.ini" -s -h -r

ren "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Desktop.ini" Desktop.inx
