use the following code:

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                var resourceName = "WindowsFormsApplication1.TextFile1.txt";
                WriteResourceToFile(resourceName, "C:\\1.txt");
            }
            catch
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Error accessing resources!");
            }
        }

        public void WriteResourceToFile(string resourceName, string fileName)
        {
            using (var resource = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName))
            {
                using (var file = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
                {
                    resource.CopyTo(file);
                }
            }
        }

and also you can find a good explanation in the following links :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13031778/how-can-i-extract-a-file-from-an-embedded-resource-and-save-it-to-disk[^]

the Embedded resource name is "YourNamespace.ResourceName.Extension" which is explaind perfectly here
