Resource Types: Nearly Every Type Supported
Resources are data that define the visible portions of your Windows program. Resources provide a consistent user interface that makes it easy for users to switch from one Windows program to another. A resource might be displayed in an application as error messages or as part of the user interface. Resources can contain data in a number of forms, including strings, images, dialogs, and persisted objects. In general, a Windows application's resources are separated from the program code, letting you make significant changes to the interface without recompiling your entire application.
Not all of those resources support direct editing, but for most you can replace and edit them with Resource Editor. Resource Tuner recognizes the following resource types:
