I'm using MS C#. Currently I'm only able to make the program retreive picture files from a certain folder I've designated. If any user were to delete some of the pictures or rename the folder, etc, the program would not be able to work as desired. So how do I hide the picture files and folders in my .exe program so that it'll look more professional?

hi,

To hide pictures or files in a folder, you go to the propertie of the file. Select hide.
This may only work is hidden files aren't allowed to show.

Almost every application has data files in a
defined folder. Your best bet is an error message
of File Not Found. If you hide flles can you
imagine how difficult it would be for a user of
an application to check if was installed properly.

You can define your own file format.
Maybe work up some archiving format so all the images are bundled into a large data file. Then nobody will accidentally delete your file, it won't look like some anonymous picture.
