Here you go: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms247035.aspx (Visual Studio Image Library collection of icons freely usable in your app).

'The Visual Studio 2010 Image Library contains application images that appear in Microsoft Windows, the Office system, Microsoft Visual Studio, and other Microsoft software. You can use this set of over 1,000 images to create applications that look visually consistent with Microsoft software'.

Answer 2

If you want an operating system icon you should try open shell32.dll ( or try with other dll in system ) as a resource file with Visual Studio, you should find the icons there, but I don't know if you can use in your application. Here a screenshot on opening a dll as a resources: and here what you obtain:

Of course you have to try open the icon one by one to look for the one you need, maybe you want the one called 17 ?

Answer 3

Most of the system icons are embedded resources in the system dll files.

Try looking in shell32.dll.

You can use the list here to find the icons that you want to use.
