I Think You Should Create A .ico File.

Google .ico Makers

Just create a Desktop.ini file inside the folder, and put the following in it:

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=C:\Program Files\Firef0x\f1r3f0x.exe
IconIndex=0

This for example will make the folder icon like the icon of my Mozilla Firefox. You can change it and put a path for a valid icon. The easiest way is to put the icon in the same folder you want to modify its icon so that no need to put a path, you just put the icon name.

By the way, are you an AUB student? Who runs the website security there?

Open notepad, write the code that I gave you in it, and go:
File > Save-as > name the file as Desktop.ini > click save > copy the file to your folder.
