Skype has a nice custom folder icon for the Skype folder in C:\Program Files.
How do you do register a custom icon for a specific windows (XP and up) folder?

Take a look at Skype's desktop.ini. It's a hidden file, you might have to enable Show hidden files to see it.

.exe and .dll files can have several icons embedded. In this case you have to specify which of the icons to use with IconIndex.

There is no separate API to customize folders. But you could use WritePrivateProfileString and GetPrivateProfileString functions to manage desktop.ini file.
