imageres.dll and shell32.dll has some as well.
cursors are apparently elsewhere, in the directory
"C:\windows\cursors" <-- or whichever drive/partition you have Windows set up on.
   
Get Angus Johnsons "ResourceHacker", you can open system dll's to see which resources they contain.

For Windows 10, there are others - for 'Tiles' for instance. I have no clue where they are kept.

I found a list of files on the internet which you can check...

1. C:\Windows\Explorer.Exe
2. C:\Windows\System32\AccessibilityCpl.Dll
3. C:\Windows\System32\compstui.dll
4. C:\Windows\System32\Ddores.Dll
5. C:\Windows\System32\DDORes.dll
6. C:\Windows\System32\GameUx.Dll
7. C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll
8. C:\Windows\System32\mmcndmgr.dll
9. C:\Windows\System32\mmRes.Dll
10. C:\Windows\System32\MorIcons.Dll
11. C:\Windows\System32\NetCenter.Dll
12. C:\Windows\System32\netshell.dll
13. C:\Windows\System32\networkexplorer.dll
14. C:\Windows\System32\PifMgr.dll
15. C:\Windows\System32\PniDui.Dll
16. C:\Windows\System32\SensorsCpl.Dll
17. C:\Windows\System32\SetupApi.Dll
18. C:\Windows\System32\Shell32.Dll
19. C:\Windows\System32\wmploc.DLL
20. C:\Windows\System32\wpdshext.dll

Not all of those will be in all OS versions. Your mileage may vary.

zedd151,
information about icons and cursors is most likely taken from the registry. Do not tell me in which branch I need to watch this?
