What is the most common method of naming the Strings in the Resource Editor.
By default they are named Stringx where x is a incremental number. Is it
recomended that these be changed or should they be kept? How does this name
relate to the ID in the RC String table?
 
Don't know what is deemed best practice, but I generally describe what the
string contains in an abbrevated format...
For example, "Please type in the answer to your secret question:" would be
called "SecretAnswer".

Something I also tend to do is prefix errors with "Err", simply so they are
grouped together in the string table so i can find them easier...

String43 doesn't mean anything, so definately move away from this naming
convention.

I use descriptive names too.
