Looking for a good resource editor.
Shall I add, you can always hand edit your *.rc files and then link them with VC++ Express.
Express Edition doesn't support editing *.rc files with the IDE, but it can load them in text-only mode (with syntax highlighting) and integrate it to your project.
You can still make .Net widgets though, or just use wxWidgets (along with wxFormBuilder) or Qt.
Express Edition doesn't support plugins.

It would be nice if it plugged directly into VC++ Express (if that is possible, which I'm not sure about)

EDIT: apparently it's not possible.
Create a blank .rc file in the Resources section of solution explorer, then right-click and do Open With. Click Add and navigate to ResEdit.exe and select it, give it a name, then hit Set As Default.
You can now just double-click the .rc and ResEdit will launch. After the first launch, right click and add the header file it generates to your project.
It's pretty much as integrated as any plug-in would be I imagine.
Buy the standard edition?
Last time you did some DIY, were you pissed about having to buy tools?
