Anyone know how to select a custom icon from a file such as shell32.dll? I want to use one of the icons in that file for a custom toolbar button.

Yes, you can use for example like this:
C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll /14
Where /14 is the icon number.

but how do we know what number an icon is?

If you to "C:\Windows\System32\" and select the file "shell32.dll", in the IP's properties tab you can see icons by browsing through them. Or if you have any icon maker application you can open the file in that app and you can see all those icons and numbers. One such app is IcoFX (also portable): http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1224
