Is there anyway i can do this? I am sorry if the question is noob i just want to know. Thank you in advance!

Yes, there is... Do a search and you will find lots of examples.

If its a picture then..:

Code:

---

SavePicture loadrespicture(101,vbresbitmap), "C:\Picture.bmp"

Thanks! What kind of file types can be stored to the resource file?

What about the custom files. Like how do i extract a text from the resource files custom category like Hello.txt to c:\ drive. Thank you in advance!:wave:

Heres the function to extract form a custom resource.

Use it as follows:

ExtractSetup "C:\mytext.txt"

Code:

---

Private Sub ExtractSetup(ByVal Path As String)
On Error Resume Next
Dim resData() As Byte
    resData = LoadResData(101, "CUSTOM")
    Open Path For Binary Access Write As #1
    Put #1, , resData
    Close #1
End Sub

In the custom section? Anything and everything, because what gets put in there is simply raw data/bytes. Example already posted above shows how to extract the data.
