I use FDF.exe in commandline mode. Runs v/fast against a single

Here's a sample of its output:

'FavIcons\chrenkoff.blogspot.com.ico' (3.553 KB).

Avail here: http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html
"fdf.zip - 9.56 KB - compiled 2006-03-08 - Utility to search

(*fdf.exe /help* in commandline mode shows parameter options)
