Jerry,
>I'm not sure what you mean about the Included box under the Files tab...
Right-click inside of the project manager, and click on "Project Info.". Then look at the "Files" tab. You can have files that are a part of the project, but that are not compiled into the .exe. An example of a file that is in this list but often times is not included in the .exe is the DBC (database container).
>but it sounds like if I include images in my EXE, the .EXE file will grow larger. But if I don't include the images, then I need to distribute the images with my EXE.

Correct.
