Standard XP Folder Icons

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

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.

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

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