VS2005: where are the bitmaps and icons?

[bdtmike]

This is a newbie question:

I've got VS2005 installed on my PC. This is the premier development
environment for the latest & greatest application. Dumb Question: How
come it comes with no graphic libraries, icons, backgrounds,
gradients, etc, etc?

Is it somewhere hiding that I didn't see? Right now I've got plain
grey forms, buttons, etc...just like good ol' VB6. I want to make my
app look a little more appealing. I know it's possible because .Net
has many properties where I can set the icons, backgrounds. Problem
is that it doesn't ship with any apparently.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

On my installation there are plenty of graphics to be found here:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\VS2005ImageLibrary
