xxx.rc2 file in the MFC project

What is the significance of .rc2 file, in an Appwizard created project? why is it there and does it change & when??

[Victor Boctor]

In any project you can only have one RC file. However this RC file can include other RC files. This is the case here .RC includes .RC2. Where all resources in the .RC are edited by the Dev Studio and .RC2 are edited manually.

That's it!

Thanks. Is there any specific instance where the resources will have to be manually edited???
