title: Creating a ".rc" file in Visual Studio 2010 Express
body: <p>I'm trying to learn game programming. I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express on Windows Vista. I want to know how to create a resource file (.rc). The microsoft website gives some fairly ambiguous instructions on creating one. <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sxdy04be.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sxdy04be.aspx</a>. If I go to my <strong>Solution explorer</strong>, right click and select <strong>Add New Item</strong>, the IDE does not give a .rc file as one of the options. It only gives me a .cpp, .h and windows form as options. I don't know what to do. I just can't figure out where i'm goofing up. I'd be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot
  Merry christmas!</p>
