Many of them seem to be in this folder:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2017\UI_ln\Resources\Dark\Icons\Modeling\

But to get them to show up in the Edit Macro Button dropdown you'll need to convert them to BMP, create a 24 pixel version, and rename the file to something:

resetWorkingPivot_16i.bmp and resetWorkingPivot_24i.bmp

Finally you need to copy these new versions to your User Icons folder and restart 3ds Max. You can open the user icons folder with this command:

shelllaunch "$usericons" ""

Seems like a lot of work for some icons.

Thanks, Monster, it works! BTW i'm using little icons in toolbars, and need only 16x16 pixels version of icon, but there must be separate .bmp files for icon itself and alpha-channel, like this:
