Windows 7 offers the ability to customize the icons and images of folders by right-clicking on the folder, choosing Properties, and then the Customize tab, as described, for example, here .
Can this be done programmatically?

Yes, you can create the file desktop.ini
programmatically. The file is registered here .
You could, for example, rename a folder in an internationalization script (for example, a folder named "users" could be shown to the user as utilities on a French OS or Benutzer on a German OS) by creating a file with the following content:
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@C:\foo\bar.dll,-100
which will take the name of the folder in the <100> id resource 100.
