Working with system icons in a C # application

Question

Where can I find all the system icons used in Windows XP / Vista / 7? Is it possible?

I tried using SHGetStockIconInfo () , but it only returns some icons.

Answer 1

For Windows 7, you can find many icons here:

%SystemRoot%\system32\DDORes.dll
%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll
%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll

I would not recommend retrieving them and using them, although I believe this is a copyright violation.

You can get a whole bunch of Windows images in Visual Studio, as described here:
