Windows Exploer used the file desktop.ini in each folder to control the folder icon display
In the case of a FP web the content is
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=_vti_pvt/fpdbw.ico
IconIndex=0
ConfirmFileOp=0
InfoTip=Stores your local web site
Which means the icon (fpdbw.ico) is coming from the hidden system folder _vti_pvt
