Hmmm, if we're truly just talking about 5 or 6 images that are used by a program, I'd probably stuff them into the resources file as custom resources, compile them into the executable, and then extract them possibly into "C:\Users\TheUser\AppData\Local\Temp" when I needed them (checking to see if they were still there from the last time I extracted them). Of course, I'd use the Windows GetTempPathW API call to get the temp folder.

Alternatively, I'd stuff the entire images into my database, as suggested above.

If you're packaging the images with the VB6 Package & Deploy Wizard, you can possibly just use App.Path to find them.

Just the ideas that come to me,
