Resources Protection

Resources Protection allows to select types of resources in the executable file that will be protected. All resources in the file are being protected by default, but there you can enable/disable additional protection of ICON and VERSION resources.

• Protect all resources - all resources in the file will be protected;
• Protect all resources, except icon - do not protect ICON resources. Almost all executable files contain an ICON resources, default icon is displaied with the file is shown in the file explorer. Note, if the "Protect all resources" option is enabled, the default Windows icon will be shown for this file in explorer.
• Protect all resources, except icon and version - disables protection of ICON and VERSION resources. Note, if any of two above options are enabled that means VERSION resources are protected, then the file version/information will not be shown in the properties dialog. Current option is recommended for most files.

Use first two options only if you exactly need protection of ICON and VERSION resources.

Note, following resources are not being protected also: STRINGS, MANIFEST, 'TYPELIB', 'REGISTRY'.
