In Windows 8, finally, you can arbitrarily change the icon for custom
libraries. Note, however, that this capability extends only to custom
libraries, and not the built-in libraries (still Documents, Music,
Pictures, and Videos). And while that’s a shame, power users will still
appreciate being able to customize their custom libraries with a new
icon.
Simply click Start –> Run (or WinKey + R), type explorer %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries
and click the OK button. This will open a new Explorer window showing
us the raw Library metadata files (.library-ms). Drag the library into
your favorite text editor (or simply Notepad) and locate the XML element
<iconReference>. Edit the value within to meet
your needs, save, and restart Explorer. (You can safely terminate
Explorer in Windows 8 by holding the CTRL and SHIFT keys while
right-clicking the Taskbar.)->You’re done!
