struggling to get a new favicon.ico file to appear

I could not get the favicon.ico file to appear at an IIS application. It only started to show when I explicitly set up the application as a web site in IIS8, and then only after I first explicitly visited http://www.example.com/favicon.ico at Google Chrome and then, secondly, did a Shift-F5 at http://www.example.com/ itself. I do have the following tag in the views of the MVC app:

<link rel="shortcut-icon" type="image/ico" href="/favicon.ico" />

Addendum 3/25/2015:: This sucks. See this instead.
