Just to be 100% sure, would this be correct?
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons]
"3"="L:\\Web\\Folder Icons\\GenericWhite.ico"
"4"="L:\\Web\\Folder Icons\\GenericWhite.ico"
After Windows updates, like the current one, my customized folder icons revert to the default style. So i have exported the special icons key, in case i have to restore my favored style, given, that the paths are right.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons]
"3"="D:\\_DOPUS\\_DOPUSTOOLS\\foldericon\\3.ico"
"4"="D:\\_DOPUS\\_DOPUSTOOLS\\foldericon\\4.ico"
"8"="D:\\_DOPUS\\_DOPUSTOOLS\\foldericon\\8.ico"
