I'm not sure, but it's possible the exact icons you get vary depending on operating system and the user's locale. But they are documented correctly and I believe they work as they should based on what Microsoft has named them.
I believe the "Hand" icon refers to the old style raised palm that used to indicate a "stop error". Nowadays -- on my XP system at least -- a red X icon is shown instead.
In the help file, I will clarify as follows:
Icon Hand (stop/error)
Icon Asterisk (info) |

The internal names chosen by Microsoft are the same (I believe) for all operating systems. This is evidenced by the following excerpt from winuser.h:
#define MB_ICONHAND 0x00000010L (i.e. 16)
#define MB_ICONQUESTION 0x00000020L (i.e. 32)
#define MB_ICONEXCLAMATION 0x00000030L (i.e. 48)
#define MB_ICONASTERISK 0x00000040L (i.e. 64)
I have no idea what "IconAsterisk" originally meant, or whether it has any specific meaning today other than the Info icon that is shown. |
