different icons for classes

Why in VS 2003 ,some of the classes have different icon than the others.some
of the classes have an icon with "#" on it and the rest have another kind of
icon with two rectangles crossed eachother(I've seen some places they call
it components)?

Thanks for your help.

A component is a special case of class that can participate as non-visual
widgets on another component. Components inherit from the Component class.
Similarly classes that inherit from Control are a special case of Component
(since Control inherits from Component), and UserControls are a special case
of Control. Each of these special cases is identified by the IDE, and
assigned an icon accordingly.
Thanks for your help.
