I have an application where I use about 30 jpg files. How
can I hide them in a file /lib/ instead they to be visible in the
working directory?

You could place them in a VB resource file, although I'm not sure whether
there would be any memory limitations with that method if your files are
large and / or numerous. An alternative would be to dump all of them into
a single data file headed up with some data pointers and perhaps some
"dummy stuff" between the files just to confuse people and then pull them
out of the data file at runtime.

By the way, I notice you are using a free anonymous email address and a
free anonymous news server. Where are you from?
