yWriter doesn't support images in the editor window, even though Windows allows you to paste them there.

The only way to include images is to use HTML code:

<HTM
<img src="some filename" />
/HTM>

Then export to html or ebook, and ensure the images are in the export folder too.

That's not the full file name. One of the strangest decisions Microsoft
ever made was to make Explorer default to showing only part of the name.
You also need to put the file extension into the img tag.

On Windows 7: open explorer, click Organize, then Folder and Search
Options.

On Windows XP: open Explorer, click Tools, Folder Options.

Then Click View, and remove the check on Hide Extensions for known file
types. Then OK.

(This is the first thing I do whenever I set up a new Windows machine).

You'll then see that all the file names include the extensions, and
that's the name you need to use (eg "Hal3Launch10.jpg").

You might think that because Explorer, for example, says it's a JPEG
file that the extension is ".jpg", but it could be ".jpeg". There's no
way of telling for sure (without using command line tools) unless you
tell Explorer to show you the extensions. Showing extensions will also
help you to protect your machine from Trojans.

Did you put in the full path to the picture?
