In Windows 95, you can't. However, you can make a shortcut to a folder and give the shortcut any icon you like. You can also change the icon used by all folders by following the instructions in Change the Icons of Desktop Items.
In all later versions of Windows, you can, although it takes a little work. Full instructions are on pages 38-39 of Windows Me Annoyances, the book.
