This will involve modifying registry with RegWrite (be careful).

1. To modify under the machine context (for All Users in NT/W2K) run:

Set shell=Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
shell.regwrite "HKCR\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\" , "New Icon_Name"

2. To modify under the user context (specific user)
in NT run:

Set shell=Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
shell.regwrite "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\" , "New Icon_Name"

in W2K run:

Set shell=Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
shell.regwrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\" , "New Icon_Name"

You need to reboot machine.
Note: If both, machine and user, context specified, then user will prevail.

It is the way to implement your task. However, it is not recommended and
unsafe. Be careful while using.
