    I've learned how to make binary files so that people can't tamper with the game info - their saved info, or anything else. Is there a way to hide picture files now? Or make it so they can't change them?
    To understand recursion, one must first understand the concept of recursion.

    Well you could put them all into the one file.
    That alone would throw off 99.9% of all users.

    Then if you wanted to secure it a little further from the grasps of programmers, just do some little encoding routine on the file (~ weak encryption)

    I'm not sure if you can do this in VB, but you can scan the image's dimensions and size at the start of your game and if it is different from the values you have programmed in, you can make the program end.
