I think they are in %windir%\system32\SHELL32.dll

Found some code in the internet, try if that works:

HINSTANCE hDll;

wincl.hIconSm = LoadIcon (hDll, MAKEINTRESOURCE ( 2 ));

Edit: Windows has a lot more icons in the "moricons.dll", but I think the file and folder icons should all be in the shell32.dll. Remind, that icons in Vista have different resolutions, up to 256x256, so the icon you are looking at a resolution 32x32 might look different then the full resolution version of the same icon.
