how would you search for the string representing the favicon.ico path?

string iconFilePath = "";
string iconFileLabel = "IconFile="; 
foreach (string line in File.ReadAllLines(theFavoriteFilePathGoesHere))
{
     if (line.StartsWith(iconFileLabel))
     {
         iconFilePath = line.Remove(0, iconFileLabel.Length);
         break;
     }
}

var matchingLines = from line in File.ReadAllLines(favoriteFilePath)
                    let iconFileLabel = "IconFile="
                    where line.StartsWith(iconFileLabel)
                    select line.Remove(0, iconFileLabel.Length);

var iconFilePath = matchingLines.FirstOrDefault();
