Saving Icons in backups

I may not be understanding, but:

I set up a new TLB install, with nothing in the C:\Users\CWBillow\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\~~images~~\icons

folder.

Then I set up several items with specific icons from several folders, andthen backed up the TLB setup.

I had expected to see the icons in the TLB icon folder after backup, but I didn't.

How/where are the icons saved with the backup? Is it during a restore that the icons are then placed in that folder?

This time I didn't even set up the C:\Users\CWBillow\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\~~images~~\icons folder.

I just went ahead and selected icons from various folders. The I backed up RLB. The folder is still not there.

I thought originally when I started using TLB that the folder was set up during installation.

Has this changed? How can I be sure that customized icons etc. will be saved with the backup?
