How to refresh favicon.ico in the browser

Got small problem. After changing favicon.ico it has no affect for browser (Google Chrome). Both F5 and Ctrl+F5 do not help. The most popular recommendation in the web is to clear all history and cache in Google Chrome. This is not good solution for me, because a lot of settings for my work.

After small research i found a way how to do this easy. Just need to type in the address line 

http://yoursite.com/favicon.ico

it shows your old icon, then click Ctrl+F5 and it shows correct one now. Then back to the site. See? Icon has been updated.

Hope this helps!
