C# Embedded Resource Copy to output directory

I have files in my project which are set as embedded resources (pdf and htm files). I have also the value copy to output directory - copy if newer. This copies all files to a sub directory called resources (within Debug or Release) on compiling the project. However I want this to happen when just running the executable, any ideas?

Actually I just realised I need to embed these pdf / htm files properly as method above only works on compiling. Basically I want them to included in the exe (executable) file, but i am unsure how to do it.

I'm not entirely sure of the question. Are you asking about embedding resources, or saving resources as files?

I managed to use these embedded htm files using this code:
System.Reflection.Assembly thisExe;
thisExe = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
System.IO.Stream fileIn = thisExe.GetManifestResourceStream("InfoNet.Resources.LoadingHomePage.htm");
this.Browser.DocumentStream = fileIn;
