Default How to capture an icon

Open "Temporary Internet Files", after visiting the websites you want icons
for.
Copy a "Favicon" to, say, My Documents folder.
Go to My Documents. Rename the *.ico. [ i.e. - to it's site-name, or a
description]
Right click the quick launch icon and choose "Properties".
Click the "Change Icon..." button at the bottom of the Shortcut tab.
Click the "Browse..." button; browse to My Documents.
Select your icon. {OK. Apply. OK}
Repeat for each shortcut.

Is there an easy way to capture the icon for a given web site?

I visit certain websites regularly. I've set up quick launch shortcuts for
them with either a generic IE 7 or an ugly nondescript icon. But I'd like
to use a specific icon for the site. Certain websites have produced
proprietary icons, many of which are available through Favorg. I'm
wondering if there's a way to "hijack" the icon for a site while viewing it
in IE7 (assuming such an icon exists).

Best advice so far.

ONE more thing: make your link "read only" so the icon won't change.
