I already have a file that adds certain logon data to the end of the file but i did it by reading in the stream and saving to an alternateive name.. The problem i have is that he doesn't want the image to be available to other to allow them to either replace or change it.. The only ideas i have come up with so far it to write a header preceeded with a magic number at the end of the stream which will give the image and data sizes to read and offsets to the magic nunber.. Is it possible to create a dll at runtime and fill it with data so i can at least ask if he will be happy with an exe and one dll..
