You need to change the extension of the file. The icon of a file is mapped to its extension. If you're using 95/NT, the easiest way is to add an extension, like "readme.txt" -> "readme.txt.cry", and then set your desired icon for files with the cry extension. That way you'll just have to remove the .cry when decrypting it, and the original icon is back.
