Are resource files prone to tampering by malicious users?
Hi to everyone.
I am developing a simple application in VB6. However, when I will be distributing the application, I do not like the idea to simply put my image files in the current directory and read them into the Image controls, because a user can be replacing the files with another content and using the same filename. So I was thinking about using a resource file. However, I would like to know if the RES files are really secure. I know about some applications like "Resource Hacker" that could inspect an EXE or another system file, even replacing the content of Windows itself, etc. In fact, now I am in doubt about the integrity of my application if everyone using those "resource viewers/editors" could be changing for instance the captions on the command buttons, etc, or any other content in my VB6 application.
Thank you very much for any help in advance.
