"%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll,-50"

QUE 1> CAN we make file { Icon.dll } that will contain set of icons
like in SHELL32.dll

Yes. Use a resource editor (like Resource Hacker).

You can also use the Shell Icons key :

Yes, actually dll file(and exe file) can contain many kinds of
resources, including bitmap, icon, string table, etc.
