Have you checked access permission and if you have only read permission have you tryed to change the permissions?

These statements do not appear to be consistent -
windows has enabled write protection on all my foldersSeems to work just fine
I do not recognise that icon and it is not in the default set at%SystemRoot%\System32\SHELL32.dll
or the alternate set at%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll
- I can only speculate that you have, at some time, installed a utility that changed your icons.
- Post the path & name of the file providing that icon by right clicking on that folder then selecting Properties, Customise, Change icon and look in the text input box Look for icons in this file.

That's not the icon the OP posted a screenshot of.
Your reference to restoring defaults is valid but, because of the unknown source of the problem, I thought it better to guide the OP in identifying the icon because its folder path might reveal the cause.
Yes, many exe files contain icons. Many other dlls also do so. These are the files containing icons on my computer [I probably used a NirSoft utility to find them - IconsExtract]
All the best,
Denis

Cerawy,
I do not think I could have been clear in my post to you. I was not referring to which of your folders were affected.
What I am suggesting is, on any of the folders affected, find the path & filename of the file providing that icon. Doing so can help to identify the cause of the problem.
Denis
It's on pretty much all of the files in all my folders.
