Icons of all sorts are handled client-side. I don't believe that even
setting folder icons inside shares work (I haven't personally played
around with it, but it I doubt it). This stems from the fact that icons
have to be local, and unless you have a way of distributing icons to
everyone people wouldn't have icons.

I'll have to play with this and find out. I know folders can be set with
a desktop.ini file that contains instructions like which icon to use.

I'm about 80% positive that you can't change share icons themselves, but
you might get lucky with making folders inside the share and customizing
those.
