Icons for explorer app depending on OS

[news.microsoft.com]

Hello,

I'm writing an explorer kind of application.

How can I extract icons for a specific type of OS?

for example the icon for 'My Computer' looks different on Windows 2000 then
on Windows XP.

Is there any way to fetch them through code (which I prefer)?
Or is the only solution to make 2 different ImageList. And if so where can I
find the Icons? Perhaps in a dll?

I'm interrested in:
Desktop, My Computer, Network Places, Recycle Bin, Drives, Folders, ...


Thanks.
