How can I use Windows Libraries icons for my own folders?

Question

I relocated my Windows Libraries to a set of folders of my own:

Now I also want to use the same icons for these folders. How can I do that? I tried Customize under the folder's properties, but I can't seem to find the icons in shell32.dll.

The icons for Music, Pictures and Videos are located in %SystemRoot%\system32\wmploc.dll and the icon for Documents is located in %SystemRoot%\System32\imageres.dll:

See this answer for a list of DLL files containing icons.
