I'm making a custom error dialog in my WPF app and I want to use a standard windows error icon. Can I get the OS-specific icon from WPF? If not, does anyone know where to get .pngs with transparency of them? Or know where in Windows to go extract them from?

So far my searches have turned up nothing.
