LOL, I don't think anyone would give out their PSD's. http://www.websoup.org has some sites. http://www.clipart.com - you can just take a screenshot of the clip art, they display it in quite a size that you can use. LOL. The down and dirty ways of a designer.

hmm when i mean images, i mean more like: Image, most of those sites are pictures of stuff, not little pixel icons... (and it will take too long to look through them all;) )

EDIT:
oh wait, found a pretty nice site, http://www.iconbazaar.com/computer/index.html

LOL, if it's like that, make your own ;). It's very simple.

Notice the home is the same as the home button on Internet Explorer? :D. Take a screenshot and crop it out. Then make a simple rounded rectangle and apply some gradients. Then add a stroke. Finally add the www text.

:D

LOL. phpbb isn't the only one. I've seen tons of people do it. From for PHPnuke themes to IPB skins. Oh well, It advertises MicroSoft ><.
