Well I got out PE Explorer and went through EVERY DLL, CPL, EXE and OCX in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, which took like 5 hours to do all up (there's a goddamn lot of files in there!) and I wrote down: The name of the file (eg. imageres.dll), the location (eg. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32) and what I though the graphics\icons in the file belong to.
Now there was a lot of files I wasn't completely sure about what the graphics in them were for, but I've included them. I also included ones that wouldn't really be useful for skinning, but had something interesting in them (like the one I found that had heaps of icons from Windows 95 and 98)
It took a while to do but I think this will be able to help the Vista theming community, plus I learnt some interesting things about Windows while doing it.
