Found this app when I stumbled upon a very frustrating situation: on the CD there was a file with icon, but I couldn't find this icon in any of the files neither on this CD neither in my whole system.
Desktop DB Diver helped to solve this mystery — it appears that the file containing this icon was deleted just before the CD was written, but the icon was "baked" into the Desktop DB/DF forever =).
