VAGUE??????? jpg-s and gif-s are SPECIFIC image types, if I would ask how to display images, that would be VAGUE question.
Here is an example of using a list-view as an image box which will support JPEG and GIF images. Other options include OleLoadPicture and GDI+.

One question Is there anyway to make it internal i would hate to constantly move JPG files, along with the program, isnt there a way to compress it into the EXE or put it in some sort of compressed file and easily extract it? like a CAB or something? Or maybe somehow attached to the EXE???????
Yes, you can embed the gif in a resource file and use the following to retrieve it:isnt there a way to compress it into the EXE
FindResource
LoadResource
LockResource
An example of a resource entry would be as follows:
Finally, I would use IPicture to display the image.Code:IDB_MYPIC BINARY "res\\mypic.gif"
