Animated gif doesnt animate automaticly... it needs to be taken care in code... It means even if u managed to smuggle .gif file in, it wouldnt move.

just just changing the extension on your animated GIF to png... The files are hard coded, but the class I wrote to load the images will load just about all file types and it does not determine anything from the extension...

The one thing I'm not sure of is if my Win32.BitBlt function will animate a GIF, I do not think it will... I know the .NET drawimage functions will and I use those for drawing the icons, so that might just work...
