The icons you ask about are within the C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll file.

  The C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll andC:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll files contain most of Windows default icons.

Those icons are NOT present inside shell32.dll. Desktop, Pictures, Downloads, etc. and many more icons are inside imageres.dll which is C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll

Tip: If you want to know where is the folder icon, you can do the following:

• Open the folder whose icon do you want to know.
• On the address bar of File Explorer, type notepad desktop.ini.
• Then check IconResource, IconFile, etc.
