Where are images stored inside programs?

I am new to the programs that carry me.

For example, Firefox .. I go to the folder C / program / mozilla / firefox .. but I do not see the images / buttons that they used for the default theme of the program

In addition, photoshop and other programs: how are buttons, images and other media stored (not in the folder from what I see)?

Same thing when I made a simple Visual C ++ program, I don’t see where the icon is?

thank you very much

Images are usually stored as resources in DLL or EXE files.
You can view resources by opening the compiled binary in Visual Studio.

Firefox stores images in JAR files for skins.

In the resource section of the executable file. This section of the file acts as the location for the built-in storage that is indexed by the resource table.

You can use a program like ResHacker to view or even modify your own embedded resources.
