In the Registry at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder change the value data for
"EditFlags" to
02 00 00 00
then retry.

Shell Icons
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell Icons]
"Number from list below"="Path to icon, Icon index"
The list below specifies the number for the default shell icons.
The path to icon is a dos path to the icon, in a registry file remembe to use \\ (regedit rmoves one \ when merging).
The icon index is used when the icons are coming from a binary file like a .dll or .exe. It is the position of the icon in the file (a negitive number is the inverse of the resource ID). Omit the comma and Icon Index when using an .ICO file.
To get the index create a shortcut, right click and choose Properties, then Change Icon, then Browse. Select the file and click open. The icons are numbered from 0 downwards then across.
Icons can also be set under the Default Icon setting for the object in HKEY_ROOT (which is where Windows stores its' icon information), the Shell Icon setting overrides this.
