Underneath Tools|Folder Options, the "File Types" tab allows you to set the icon associated with any file extension. For filetypes associated with a particular application, the application installer normally initializes this association using an icon bundled with the application -- usually, stored as a "resource" inside an .EXE or .DLL file, rather than as a separate .ICO file. But that does not prevent a user from later changing the association to any other icon available on the system.
