Folder painter can do that. You can add your own custom icons too :D

There's a thirty days trial for Stardock's IconPackager if you want to try it. Costs £9.99 if you want to buy. If it's not working for you, you can restore the defaults and remove it.

Change your Windows desktop icons at once with IconPackager.
