When windows is displaying the files through Window Explorer I need to have the ability to change the icon of the file type before it is displayed. I have seen application like SubVersion and Carbonite, change the icons depending on their status, but how do you do this?

That requires a "shell extension", in particular an "icon overlay handler"; I haven't done it myself, but perhaps search on those terms, or look at this discussion.
