It couldn't always; I think the built-in ability to handle .RC files came in with version 6 or 7. Before that any resources other than the few the compiler handled automatically (the main icon, string tables via the "resourcestring" mechanism, and version resources) had to be pre-compiled into .RES files first; for which I typically used Resource Workshop. > The icons were separated but now, after your answer, I will put the > common icons in a single icon file. > Can you recommend a good icon editor software because until now I fond > only rudimentary programs. I don't care the price is it is under 150$. > My Paint Shop Pro 10 can't handle icon files :( I like Axialis' Icon Workshop: http://www.axialis.com/ The interface is maybe a little bit "over the top" glitzy, but I can't fault the functionality, there's been nothing I wanted to do with an icon recently that I couldn't do with this tool; e.g.: icon sizes ranging from 16x16 to 128x128 (and custom sizes), a full range of color depths, handles alpha channel transparency effects easily, handles multiple icons in a single .ico file, sophisticated import/export capabilities, handles most icon library formats; and it's considerably less than $150.
