-In Visual Studio, you specify compiler and linker options, file paths, and other build settings through the property pages for the project. To open the **Property Pages**, choose  **Project** > **Properties** from the main menu, or right-click on the project node in **Solution Explorer** and choose **Properties**. For more information about project properties, see [Set C++ compiler and build properties in Visual Studio](../working-with-project-properties.md).
+In Visual Studio, you specify compiler and linker options, file paths, and other build settings through the property pages for the project. The properties and property pages that are available depend on the project type. For example, a makefile project has an NMake property page, which is not present in an MFC or Win32 console project. To open the **Property Pages**, choose  **Project** > **Properties** from the main menu, or right-click on the project node in **Solution Explorer** and choose **Properties**. Individual files also have property pages that enable you to set compile and build options for just that file. The following image shows the property pages for an MFC project.

+This section provides a quick reference for the property pages themselves. The options and settings exposed in the property pages are documented more completely in their own topics and are linked from the property page topics. For more information about project properties, see [Set C++ compiler and build properties in Visual Studio](../working-with-project-properties.md).

+# Resources property page
 
-For information on how to access the **Resources** property pages, see [Set C++ compiler and build properties in Visual Studio](../working-with-project-properties.md).
+For Windows programs, the build invokes the Resource Compiler (rc.exe) to add images, string tables, .res files to the binary. The properties exposed in this property page apply only to the Resource Compiler, not to cl.exe or the linker. For more information on using the resource compiler, see [Using RC (The RC Command Line)](/windows/win32/menurc/using-rc-the-rc-command-line-).
