Not sure what you've tried, but I can rename from Properties. To get a
string name try surrounding the identifier with quotes.

Either, except I think STRINGTABLE entries.

Yes.

Just pass a string, and don't use MAKEINTRESOURCE.

It'll show in the Resource View, but really if you give it a name, you
should know it already.

It should be the name you and/or the wizard gives to it. So if you give it
the name: "IDR_DATA1" then that's the string name. On the other hand, if you
give it the numeric identifier: IDR_DATA1, then it's string name is
MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_DATA1).
