Ok, does everyone know that some system icons and pictures and stuff are saved in a file called Shell32.dll or some other dll file? Well, i would like to make a DLL file with my pictures inside of it. Does anyknow know how to do that? (It could be in VB or C++, but i need to use the DLL file in VB)

This has been asked before if you wanna search the forumns, basically, create a new activeX dll project, right click the project window & insert a new form. You can then add a load of pictureboxes onto this form & compile it.

and how would i access the files through the DLL to VB...would it be something like..

Private Sub Form_Load()
     Animation1.Open App.Path & "\ActiveX.dll Something.avi"
