I didn't found on forum ( or at least an old topic without clue ) how to change this yellow folder.
Some pointed out this path where there are 6 folders png but didn't changed anything after taking ownership , edited and reboot.
C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.FileExplorer_cw5n1h2txyewy\Assets
If you were to change the folder icon on an individual basis, you'd need to in the folder in which it exists- one of the two comprising the start menu structure.
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
C:\Users\------\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Example of an old program to do this very simply- a context menu entry:
Thanks Dalchina for reply , not sure it solves that location , I tried for long time editing this generic folder but I give a try with your tool !
Correct- I wasn't tryng to address the question of the location, which would apply to all such folders.

At a purely Windows level you can do this of couse:
And you can see it looks as if the folder icon is in
%SystemRoot%\System32\SHELL32.dll
Examining that with Resource Hacker should let you find the default icon.
