Standard XP Folder Icons

[Guest]

I've been searching and hunting for more of the standard folder icons that
match the ones Microsoft includes with Windows XP. (The ones that are an
image of a partially open folder with a graphic at the top.) Haven't had much
luck finding any that are usable. Does anyone know if there is some secret
place that these "XP" style icons can be acquired? I've seen many of the
newer icon packages and don't care for them. - Thanks much for any advice.

The open and closed folder icons are present inside the shell32.dll file.

How can I extract the icon files (.ico) so that I can assign them to folders?

Ok - I found a utility called IconViewPro and extracted the icons from
shell32.dll - These are the icons that I am familar with already. I wonder
where I can find other "folder specific" graphical icons that match the few
that are in use in Windows. There are several icons for My Pictures, My
Music, and so on that use a small graphic in the design of the icon, these
are the ones I am lookinfg for.

Thanks for any suggestions.

The "My Pictures" icon is in the %SystemRoot%\system32\mydocs.dll file.
