My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllBytes("C:\Filename.extension",My.Resources.MyResourceName,False)

Replace first parameter with the name of the file you want it to be saved into and replace the second parameter with the name of your resource.

My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllBytes("C:\Filename.extension",My.Resources.MyResourceName,False)

Replace first parameter with the name of the file you want it to be saved into and replace the second parameter with the name of your resource.

Shouldn't you check first if the file exists before you eventually replace it?

	If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("C:\Filename.extension") Then
           	MsgBox("File exists")
        Else
            Dim myFile As Object = My.Resources.Filename
        		IO.File.WriteAllBytes("C:\Filename.extension", myFile)
        End If

No, because i have to delete all files and then replace these.
