You can't do that.  The IDE won't allow it.  It will always re-create the
.res file if it is missing.  Instead, you should be simply giving your
dialogs more unique IDs, or just use names instad of numeric values to begin
with.

You are trying to pass the Application's HWND Handle where the function is
expecting a module HINSTANCE instead.  An HWND is a window, not a module
identifer.  If you are compiling the dialog into the exe directly, then you
should be using the global HInstance variable instead.  That would explain
why the function can never find your resources at all.

I would not suggest you use such low numbers for your own IDs.
