Meaning of VS2K5 icons?

Does MS have a webpage listing what each icon in the VS 2K5 IDE means?
Seems as though there was one of these for 2K3. I can't find anything
for 2K5.

Also, is there still a visual studio newsgroup?

Ultimately, I'm still trying to figure out why any new partial class
created from a file addition doesn't group under the main partial class
declaration in Solution Explorer. They group if you add a new winform
but after that, any new partial class file additions won't group.

Thanks,
Brett

I can't address you questions on icons and partial classes, but...
Presuming that by "visual Studio newsgroup" you mean groups dedicated to
the IDE itself, look for groups that begin with:

microsoft.public.vsnet

There are quite a few, like

microsoft.public.vsnet.general
microsoft.public.vsnet.ide
microsoft.public.vsnet.setup
 
Not sure if this is what your looking for but when I installed VS2005,
there was a folder in the install dir - Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio 8\Common7\VS2005ImageLibrary which has a zip file called
VS2005ImageLibrary.zip, once extracted there is a file
bitmaps\commands\pngformat\_MS32bitColorPNGCommandArt - Readme.html which
shows all the icons with a description.

I have noticed that Visual Studio will group the files based on the
name of the file, as opposed to the name of the partial class. So,
forms group together because they have names like Form1.cs,
Form1.designer.cs, and Form1.resx. I haven't been able to get files
with other names to group together, but I hope this helps
