If you create a game with external WAV files there's a risk that someone will come along with their copy of Goldwave, or some other such package, and make changes. You can save them as a resource file which just adds it to the executible, so you can end up with a huge executible which probably isn't healthy. Or you can use a simple trick which is to take, say, the intro sound file, which identifies your programme, make a note of the filesize and take a fingerprint from it (say a dozen values from random locations within the file). On starting, your executible could check the size of the intro file and the fingerprint and then refuse to run if it has been changed.
