Inaccurate tab logos

In IE 8.0 I love the tabbing feature, but recently it has been inserting the

wrong logo for my favorite websites. For instance, the Bank of America logo

is showing up in the tab for other favorite websites. This is an annoyance as

those logos do help me keep track of what sites I have open in each browser

window. Any advise on how to correct this problem?

Clear the TIF. For best results close all IE windows (and anything else

which might be using the TIF) and use the Control Panel's Internet Options

applet.

By TIF I assume you mean "temporary internet files"? "TIF" and its

relatives are an image file format. When using something like that, the

first time it's mentioned should include what it's meaning is meant to be so

readers comprehend it accurately in only one reading.

Newsgroups are great places to get assistance.

But always verify important information with

other sources to be certain you have a clear

understanding of it and that it is accurate.

The image file format is called TIFF rather than TIF.

While that's what it's called, the filename is often, if not always, *.TIF.

That has no relation to the name of the format. It seems that 15 years

after the restriction was lifted, filename extensions are often still

limited to 3 characters in Windows. Making them unnecessarily cryptic.

Yes, but the direction was, "clear the TIF." If one thought that this meant

to delete *.TIF, then the Tagged Image File Format files (pictures) would be

deleted, which would have undesirable consequences and would not solve the

problem because the wrong file set would have been cleared.



Therefore, the question, "by TIF, I assume you mean Temporary Internet

Files," is a good one, and the suggestion that when one uses an abreviation

the first time, it is good to define the abreviation to preclude any

confusion that might result because there are other uses of the same

abreviation.



Context.
 
Who cares?
