Windows Overlay Icons with Node.js

Question

Why is there any node package that handles folder icons and overlay icons for Windows or other SO?

I did some research, and apparently for windows you need to write a dll and register it. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc144123(v=vs.85).aspx

But is this impossible with Node? Since I want to create a folder with different icons, and I cannot find an easy way to do this with javascript.
