I too have was looking into a decent Resource editor for C++ I found this a while back, seems OK, and free. http://www.resedit.net/[^] Give it a try and see what it's like :)

I gave it a rather quick try... It seems like pure awesomeness given that it's free. But I don't thiiiiink it'll just pick up a visual studio .rc file and run with it. Probably a lot of "wierd compatibility junk" I'll need to sort through like #include afx.res and LANGUAGE being defined - those are the first things I hit... I'm gonna cave and get vs2008 i think. ALSO dmusici.h is now gone from sdk since directx sdk 2007 which means i gotta go back to multimedia timer - DANG!! Or work through compatibilty probs w that dx sdk X| rats. Oh well, that's the life of a dev i spose...:/

I've tried looking around, seem MS are determined to kill VS2008 and make people use crappy VS2010. You could always look for one of the VB/C# 2005/2008 books, they have have a install CD in for the whole of VS Express, including Visual C++ :)
