I heard that Visual Studio came with an Image Library, but I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know where it is?

From Visual Studio 2012 onward, the icons are downloadable separately from Visual Studio:

The library contains application images that appear in Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft Windows, the Office system, and other Microsoft software.

The download wasn't initially available when Visual Studio 2012 launched.
