You want to eliminate the duplicated definition from the project
settings and just include the same header file in your .rc file.

And to include that header file, you will want to modify the "preprocessor includes" using
the IDE. DO NOT edit your file "by hand" unless you well-and-truly understand what you
are doing!

That's what I meant by "do not edit this file by hand unless you understand what you are
doing". Yes, this is what is SUPPOSED to happen. But if you look under the Edit menu of
VS, there is an option to modify the resource include files used, and THAT is what you
must use to make the change!

Edit>Resource Includes...

due to the usual terminal stupidity of the IDE design, this menu (which should be global
and always available) does not contain the Resource Includes... item unless you are in the
context of having the .rc file selected. Add the directive to the lower of the two boxes.

I've never tried to change these strings, so I really don't know.
