My first question is how do I embed files into an application. For example an installer embeds all the files into the program and then copies them into your hd. Or in a music player it can embed certain files and then play them. How would I do that.

My second question is how do i save certain files like mp3 files into another file. Or, that's not really good phrasing so I'll just give an example. In maplestory it has wz files, but in the wz files are the animation, which of course would be so you can't edit them. But how would I do something like that?

Resources.
WZ is basically an archive. (Example is rar/zip.)

As Sponge said, your first one would be resource files. A small example, you could import a DLL into a resource file as a 'BIN' resource. Then extract it using FindResource, LoadResource, LockResource, CreateFile and WriteFile (CloseHandle too for the open resource handle). I can write a small example if you need one.

Sure.

Here ya go.

That's the most portable solution, one disadvantage is when anti virus programs see you have an executable embed as a resource, they will be suspicious of you. A better one would be to embed as an object file at link-time but different compilers use different object file formats.
