Use a resource extractor on the file Shell32.dll, that file contails all the system icons :)

You can also use the ExtractIconEx API also.
If you have VS2005, Microsoft provides a vast collection of their system icons for you to freely use in your programs. They can be found in a zip file under <InstallDir>\Common7\VS2005ImageLibrary.
I have only express edition 2005. But I know what to do. Thanks
They're in the express edition.
These two links show how to extract system icons dynamically so you dont need to distribute any icons.
