Vista doesn't support PNGs for folders. The easiest way to do this without installing software is by doing the following:

Convert your PNG here: http://converticon.com/

Then use the .ICO by doing the following:
  • Right-click folder and click properties
  • Under the Customize tab, click Change Icon
  • Browse to where you've put your converted icon and double click on it
  • Click OK

so far, I've found some offline and free converters, but every time I convert a PNG into an ICO, it reduces the quality so badly that the icon gets all pixelated...so i just use converticon.com like Rich said
