It won't. ALL the icons don't work. Please read for content, not what

I know that all the icons don't work, but if you use the 64 bit version of IE they will!
The reason the icons stop working after exiting IE is because you are using the 32bit version on a 64 bit OS.
As I said if you use the 64 bit version of IE it will fix your problem. Try it and see and then tell me it doesn't work.
