I use this registry mod to change to open folder icon. Affects the
left-hand pane of Explorer & Regedit. You can change the icon reference to
anything you like. You'll need to log off & back on for the change to take
effect.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell
Icons]
"4"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\SHELL32.dll,137"
