Sorry maybe this question is too stupid. And i just finished my 1st game and all of the files are in the same folder. Music, plugin.dll, winsetup.exe, AGSGAME.exe ,the question is how can i packages all of this files into single exe, except winsetup offcourse.....please I am stuck. ??? :-[

You can't have ALL files bundled into one exe.

As for the music, if you have midi music in the game folder, it will be bundled into the game exe. Digital music (mp3, ogg etc.) from the game folder will be bundled into music.vox. Speech files will be bundled into speech.vox.

Okey then what should I do, in my folder I have a couple of mp3,wav and midi, translation files, plugin.dll files, and my game.exe name is still AGSGAME.exe, how could i change this ???? I ' am stuck !! :'( :'( :'(

To change the game exe name, rename the game folder and recompile the game. You should delete the exe with the old name to avoid confusions.

As for packaging it, Just zip or rar the game exe, winsetup.exe, plugin dll's, music.vox (if one exists, if you use digital music choose "Rebuild VOX files" from the game dropdown menu in AGS to create it), speech.vox (if you have voice speech, this vox file is compiled at the same time with the music vox file) and possible readme file. You should be all set then to distribute it.
I used to make games but then I took an IRC in the knee.

Well unless you're using Window's Compressed Folder system to make the zip file it should also be compressed (contrary to the name Window's doesn't "compress" the files, it just makes it one file) so that will make it easier for your users to download anyway!

Quotein my folder I have a couple of mp3,wav and midi

Put your music files in the game folder, not the Compiled folder. As I said, MIDI files will be built into the exe, digital music into music.vox.
