Yes there is, all you need to do is add an Expandable String Value with the name Icon and for the value, the path to the image in .ico form. Hope this works.
Hmm, well, I think you're right, BUT ...
... the / my problem is :
Where is the Registry entry for that Context Menu entry ???

I'm not sure if it's even possible but looking at this tutorial from Brink "Open File Location" - Add or Remove from Context Menu it looks like the locations are at(by looking at the Reg files in Notepad)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\OpenContainingFolderMenu
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LibraryLocation\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\OpenContainingFolderMenu
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Results\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\OpenContainingFolderMenu
This tutorial shows how to add a shortcut with an icon to the context menu maybe with a little trial and error you can Incorporated into the above locations Context Menu - Add Shortcuts with Icons
Be sure to make a backup of your registry first Registry - Backup and Restore
I would also make a restore point just to be safe System Restore Point - Create
