    I have always used a 3rd party software to change these folders icons.

    Change folder icon or color to make a search for important information a "one-glance" affair!

    ...and two more years plus

    You can easily do this from the Recovery Environment or WinPE.

    From the command prompt type “notepad”, go to open dialogue and browse to your Windows or Program Files folder.

    Note that while there is the Browse button in icon change panel, it doesn’t work in WinRE or WinPE, so prepare your icon path in advance and copy/paste, or type it manually.
