Icons for your applications

I was researching a question from ISV an about reusing the Icons Microsoft uses in Windows/Office. Here are some relevant links…

• Visual Studio Icons Library: go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\VS2008ImageLibrary\1033 and unzip the VS2008ImageLibrary.zip file.
• 2007 Office System Add-In: Icons Gallery: https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=12b99325-93e8-4ed4-8385-74d0f7661318&displaylang=en
• Office UI licensing: https://msdn.microsoft.com/nl-be/office/aa973809(en-us).aspx
• Windows User Experience Interaction Guidelines: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511258.aspx
• Of course there are a couple of interesting 3rd party libraries too. You can find these through your favorite search engine.
