My Second Win32 program....
This one uses .wav files, When i compile and get the exe and run it in a different directory on my PC it doesn't play the sounds cause their not in the directory. My question is how can I Embed the sound files into the .exe to make it more easily portable ? http://www.corrado.italy.com/help.gif CODE CLIPPING : ---------------- LoadResource(NULL, (HRSRC)"GF_Pauly.wav"); LockResource((HRSRC)"GF_Pauly.wav"); PlaySound("GF_Pauly.wav",NULL,SND_FILENAME | SND_ASYNC | SND_RESOURCE); ---------------- This is what i have (screenshot link) are the files loaded where they should be ? are the funcation calls (highlited) proper ? .The .exe file didn't get any larger.

You need to create a resource file (usually .rc I think) and put the wav file in it, and then make sure that the .rc file is compiled into your exe. It's easy to do in MS Visual C++ by just creating a new resource file.
