Not completely sure if this is the right place to post this, but it seems like the best. Anyway, on to my topic. I'm making a little program that will display pictures and such on the screen. (Sorta like a screensaver, I guess) Anyway, I'm making it limited so the people I send it to can only see them for 1 second each picture. Now, here's my problem. When I make the release version and send it out, the pictures still have to be in the folder, meaning they could just open them and all that. So, now, my question, anyone know how I could possibly encrypt the pictures so that they can't be opened directly from the folder?

If you don't want that happening you could just embed the pictures in your executable as resources.

Put them in a resource file.

As in when you see (Visual C++ 2005)

Headers:

Resources:
something.ico

Sources:
whatever.cpp

(whatever u have)

in resources, add the pictures
