py2exe issues with pictures and icons

Hello

I am sure most of you are familiar with py2exe. I am having a bit of a
problem. See the program has a few pictures involved and the .ico it uses
for the windows. However, the pictures are stored in the same directory as
the source, something like: C:\Docs and settings\me\My docs\python\program.
When I run the program for the interpreter, just as a .py, everything works
just as it should. However, when I compile the main source as an .exe, and
say let a friend try the program. It fails because it is missing the .ico.
The catch, is I don't want to have it have to installed, at least at this
point, I want it to be able to just run. So how can I make it just run from
any computer with the files not being in the immediate directory. If that is
not possible, how can I put them in the immediate directory and still make
it work. Because that directory may change a lot so the path will change. 

Just a few questions. I hope someone out there can help me out!
