Hello Bongo,
I believe that it's going to be the same one used for all folders in Windows 7. The tutorial below will help show you how to change the default folder icon. Folder Icon - Change Windows 7 Default Folder Icon
Hope this helps,

Jerry, 29 is for the shortcut overlay icon. It wouldn't work for this. Instead you could add 3, as in OPTION ONE of that tutorial, and use C:\Windows\System32\imageres,-3 to have the default yellow folder icon. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Self built custom OS 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 & Windows 8 Enterprise CPU Intel i7-3930K 3.2 Ghz (O/C 4 Ghz) Motherboard ASRock X79 Extreme11 Memory 32 GB (8GBx4) G.SKILL DDR3 Quad PC3-19200 2400MHz Graphics Card Sapphire HD5870 Eyefinity 6 2GB Sound Card SB Recon 3Di Integrated Chip Monitor(s) Displays 3x 27" Asus VE278Q Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution Mouse Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution PSU OCZ Series Gold OCZZ1000M 1000W Case Thermaltake Level 10 GT Snow Edition Cooling Corsair Hydro H100 Hard Drives 256GB OCZ Vector

Ok, Bongo.
Delete the 3 entry in the right pane of regedit, and try the folder download in the link below to restore the default folder associations. Afterwards restart the computer to apply.

Bongo,
You can try this path instead with the 3 entry: %SystemRoot%\System32\shell32.dll,3
If that doesn't help, then I have one more item for you to try. See if restoring the default New - Folder item with the download in the tutorial below may be able to fix the icon for you. New Context Menu - Remove & Restore Default Menu Items
Here's a copy of the default Folder.ico file. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Self built custom OS 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 & Windows 8 Enterprise CPU Intel i7-3930K 3.2 Ghz (O/C 4 Ghz) Motherboard ASRock X79 Extreme11 Memory 32 GB (8GBx4) G.SKILL DDR3 Quad PC3-19200 2400MHz Graphics Card Sapphire HD5870 Eyefinity 6 2GB Sound Card SB Recon 3Di Integrated Chip Monitor(s) Displays 3x 27" Asus VE278Q Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution Mouse Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution PSU OCZ Series Gold OCZZ1000M 1000W Case Thermaltake Level 10 GT Snow Edition Cooling Corsair Hydro H100 Hard Drives 256GB OCZ Vector
