All the icons are stored in DLL files, somewhere, but finding and accessing
them is a topic that belongs in a group that handles programming the Windows
API. Most of us "mere mortals" capture them in a screen shot. Everyone has that
capability in the Print Screen button on their keyboard. That puts a picture of
the screen on the Clipboard and you can paste it into a graphics program.
Most of us who create documentation use a program such as PaintShopPro or
Snag-It so that we can capture just the portion of the screen we want.
