I've just recently begun coding desktop apps in c# and I'm wondering if Visual Studio or MSDN provides a default set of icons for applications, i.e. icons for common actions, GUI elements, data types, etc. For instance, I have a button that the user clicks on to select a file, it would be nice if I could use Windows' standard folder icon.

You should be able to find the icons in a zip file named "VS2008ImageLibrary.zip" located here:
%Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\VS2008ImageLibrary\1033

There is an image library packaged with Visual Studio. Do a search for icon files in the Visual Studio install directory to reveal its location. It may or may not be there, or will be in different locations, depending on the version of VS you have installed.
If memory serves the Express editions come without this feature, but all other versions since at least Visual Studio .NET do.
