Didn't know it wasn't possible.

It isn't at the moment.

And yes, either that, or it could simply act like a folder, displaying a file thumbnail that's in the library in place of the green thing.

You can do it with my simple program "Library icon changer".
Download it from here, need Java (JRE)

AND TO BE CLEAR it only works with icon (.ico) and .dll files.

But I think Microsoft should implant this.

It works for me what build of win 7 are you using?

currently, you can manually change it by editing the XML file of the library.

Yepp that's exactly what my program does, but you can do it manually by save the library files as a text file.

I have updated my program so now there's no need for the library_location file any more. And it can only be used with valid icon files (ico, dll or exe files)
