famfamfam used to have a nice (relatively) free icon set named silk that 
was widely used for programming and the web... the main site seems to be 
off-line now... I found a copy:

http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk
http://rip747.wordpress.com/2007/10/18/famfamfam-silk-icons-converted-to-gifs/

I don't know what format desktop icons need to be, I think at a minimum 
these would be too small but maybe they can be blown-up and converted.  
You could use one of the database icons for the .SAV file and one of the 
document icons for the .SPS file. 

I've also seen many free icon editors for Windows... there may be better 
choces, but I've used Bouffler's freeware Icon Edit successfully:

I think it wouldn't take much to improve on SPSS's choices... I guess 
they look a bit like the windows they represent but what you really need 
is a way to connect the file to SPSS.
