Resource (Windows)

In Microsoft Windows, a resource is an identifiable, read-only chunk of data embedded in an executable file—specifically a PE file.

Files that contain resources include: EXE, DLL, CPL, SCR, SYS and MUI files.[1][2][3]

The Windows API provides a computer program access to resources.
