Resources can't be really freed in the Win32 subsystem. What you get from the resource functions is just a pointer to the memory-mapped image of the binary. It's the same as code. As long as the binary stays around so does the resource. You can only really free resources, if you have the resource in a DLL and you unload the DLL. benny
