Handling Pictures

Hi there,

I'm developing an application that deals with pictures alot! And I dont want at the end, my application's users to see the pictures' folder! So, what is the best way to hide the pictures' folder from being noticed? One of my colleagues told some methods:

a. Insert them in the DB. (Access DB).
b. Put the in a resource file. (What about jpeg format?)
c. zip the picture folder with a password. (unzip inside the application)

So, what is the best method and how it can be achieved? Please I want the solution in some details like a tutorial, to be sure not to ask again

Please help guys.

Give u a sample:
