Let me see if I understand you correctly.
You want
1. the user to be able to select files and then your program must write the locations of the files into a data file
2. the program to read this data file at a later stage and display it as a pick list to the user.
3. the user to pick one of the listed files and then run it from within your program

I thik this is what you need :-
1. Create a new TFilestream
2. Add a header to it showing what files are going to be stored in the DAT file. (I've done this before by creating a new component - THeader, which has some string properties. Being a component you can just stream it out into the TFilestream)
3. Load the Bitmaps (or whatever) using a TMemorystream object.
4. Stream the TMemorystream to the TFilestream
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each file.
To then extract the files, you have to read the header and then read each of the files and save the one you want as a file on its own. It can then be used as normal.
