Moricons.dll had icons for various DOS programs like word perfect.

The icons used in desktop are/were in progman.exe, shell32.dll and control.exe (IIRC, it was a long time ago).

Raymond Chen has more on this:

What were the MS-DOS programs that Windows used the progman.exe stock icons for?

What were the intended uses of those icons in moricons.dll?

shell32.dll is unfortunately modernized on modern versions of Windows, with very few exceptions :( the Novell tree is still there.
