This is starting to sound familiar, but...
While developing the add-in for CodeKeep, I wanted to make sure I didn't just use the default smiley face for my icons. After much searching, I came across this MSDN article that provides an Excel macro for determining the face IDs of Microsoft Office icons, which are used extensively by Visual Studio. The article is old school as it was written for Office 97, but it still applies today and works just fine in Office 2003. Basically, you give the macro a range of numbers to use and it will display the icons in that range giving you the face ID for each one as the tooltip.
This proved to be very handy and since it was hard for me to find, I figured I'd post it here for anyone else that might be interested.
Of course, the next logical step would be for me to turn the Excel macro into an actual Visual Studio add-in and make it more “native”. Maybe when I get a free couple of hours I'll do that... whenever that will be :-)
