I made & modified a few icons for Windows Vista. All these icons are compatible with Windows XP & Windows Vista along with various docks which support .ico files. These are only for the application & folders that I use so you might not find exactly what you are looking for.
Most of these icons are given in Windows Vista itself; I just modified them for better usability. None of the icons here except a few are made by me. They are either given in Vista or downloaded from deviantart.com. All credits goes to the respective designers. I do take credit for making them Vista Certified.
All these icons are from Size 16p to 48p along with 256p Vista Icon. The maximum size possible on Windows XP is 48X48 with these icons, where in Vista it is upto 256X256. These icons might also be usefull on MacOS X or Linux, though I don't know what format icons Linux uses
To configure the icons to look beautiful on Vista do the following
1) In explorer, click on view & select "Large Icons". This results in Icons becoming 64X64 pixel & showing a lot of detail
2) Go to control panel -> personaliaation->Windows color & Apperence-> "Open classic control panel" link.
3) In the next window, click on advance & select icon from the drop down menu. Now set icon size to 48, Font to Segoe UI & Font size to 11.
4) Select from the drop down menu, icon spacing (horzontal & vertical) & set it to 48
Here are the previews. You can download the whole package from rapidshare but if someone can provide some web space for it, it will be appreciated. More icons to come.

To recreate the Icon Cache in Windows Vista if new icons are not showing, do the following ->
1) Go to \User\Appdata\local & unhide the file Iconcache.db
2) Now start an elevated Command Prompt.
3) Kill explorer.exe from task manager, now in the command prompt write
del iconcache.db
4) Restart explorer.exe. Now reboot the computer.
