Custom Windows folder icon

Skype has a nice custom folder icon for the Skype folder in C:\Program Files.

How do you do register a custom icon for a specific windows (XP and up) folder?

There is no separate API to customize folders. But you could use WritePrivateProfileString and GetPrivateProfileString functions to manage desktop.ini file.

Take a look at Skype's desktop.ini. It's a hidden file, you might have to enable Show hidden files to see it.
