AFAIK this is not possible with one swift setting.
(Feel free to chime in, anyone, if I'm mistaken. I love to learn too.!)
With a little work it is however possible to set this up yourself.
You can place a file called Desktop.ini in any directory you choose.
The contents of the file would be:
[.ShellClassInfo]
InfoTip=Stores Software
IconFile=install.ico
; (or any file, dll or exe, that contains icons, see second example)
IconIndex=0
; (if there is only 1 icon in the file,
; or any number indicating the icon # in that file, starting with 0
for the first icon,
; see second example)
ConfirmFileOp=1
second example.
[.ShellClassInfo]
InfoTip=Stores Software
IconFile=%windir%\system32\shell32.dll
IconIndex=41
ConfirmFileOp=1
One extra step is needed.
You have to set the 'System' attribute on that particular diectory to have
the OS take the Desktop.ini file into account.
(eg. in a cmd prompt: attrib +s <foldername>)
It's a little work, but it will get you the desired result.
