Erm... Crack/Keygen/Some other way to get it free? 
Probably PMing me the links or w/e would be wise.
Oh yeah, and please only send me tried and tested links, rather than just searching google. Don't want a virus now do we.

Visual Studio is free. You can download the Express Edition from Microsoft and register it to yourself through their site. I have not seen any limitations to the Express edition other then not being allowed to create commercial software with it. Other then that, it has no limitations from what I've seen.
I use Visual Studio's resource editor. It works great with some exceptions to annoying things like importing something that already has a predefined type will automatically be imported to that type. You cannot set it to a specific type while importing. Thus making you have to edit the .rc code to adjust something to the type you want.
For example, if you import a PNG, it will automatically goto a type folder for 'PNG'. But instead you want it in 'RCDATA'. You'd have to import it, close the editor, open the .rc code file and edit the file to be a member of 'RCDATA' instead of 'PNG'. Kinda gets annoying when you are working on a larger scale project.

Wow, thanks, that's soooo good to know. Do you think I should get visual c++ or another one?

Ah, thankyou for that! Are their any other good resource editors, seeing as I can't be bothered to download a crack? :S By any chance, could I just use Dev-C++?

Wow, so it doesn't. Just tested it on my desktop.

Avoid Dev-C++ at all costs. Once you get into C++ more, you will thank us for telling you to avoid it lol.
There are plenty of free resource editors around the internet. Heres a few:
- XN Resource Editor (One of my favs.)
http://www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/d10resourceeditor.htm
- ResHack (Something everyone has seen probably.)
http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
- ResEdit (Another fairly decent editor.)
http://www.resedit.net/

Thanks Wiccaan. What about if I'm only interested in C compiling? Lolz.
The thing with Dev-C++, is that I like the fact it is an IDE.
Maybe switch to V-C++ Express? What do you think of it?
Going to go with XN. Although, once you have your resource file, how do you use/access it?

If you have a resource editor, you can edit it directly. if not, you'll have to edit it with hard coding.
Then you call DialogBox
