The way I got over this small problem in IE6 was to make a folder anywhere, and add the favicon, when I got it, you will find it in your temp internet files.

cut and paste the favicon into the folder that you are using to store such files, then renamed them when there, so as to have uniques names (most still are called favicon.ico - rename ones like yahoo.ico, google.ico etc)

then on your favourites link, right click and chose properties, and change icon, browse to your folder, and pick the icon you wish.

I never lost a favicon after this, although it is a long process, but when you get the hang of it it is simple.
