One thing that has got me wondering about Visual C++ 2005 Express is the "resources" section. What is this and what is it for?
Does anyone know? In case I left out details, as I have a habit of doing, on the projects/solutions section on the far left, there are 3 "folders". One is for headers, the one below it for resources, and the one at the bottom is for source files. What I'm asking is what is the "resources" folder used for?
IDE question - moved to Tech.

It's used for listing project 'resources' - scripts(*.rc) containing dialog, menu, image information etc and for associated resource data.
Icons, dialogs, menus, internationalization strings, etc.Quote:
