how do you change the folder icons in Windows 95 from the boring default ones?
I don't know if this applies to 95 but in 98To make a folder look like a Web page
You can change a folder's background in two ways: by adding a picture or by making it into a Web page.
In My Computer or Windows Explorer, open the folder that you want to customize.
On the View menu, click Customize this Folder.
To add a picture to your folder background, click Choose a background picture. In the wizard, you can also select colors for the text and text background in your folder.
To turn your folder background into an HTML document, click Create or edit an HTML document, and then follow the steps in the wizard to edit the folder template using HTML. For example, you might want to add a line of text explaining the folder contents, or change the font or color of the folder title.
Tip
If you want to undo your customization, click Remove customization.

You can download Microangelo 98 from most software sites [graphics or icon editors] and this has a program called Engineer that can do this [and most other system icons] and the latest version you can change each individual folder icon as well, but only if you have IE4's desktop update installed [get Anyfolders for this, it's better, it doesn't need the Desktop update]
