In Visual Studio 2005, in one particular project, I need all of the items
in the solution explorer to be marked as Embedded Resource.

Since I'm doing a lot of testing, and I'm generating these items from an
external program, I end up deleting them and re-adding them pretty often.
So I have the fun task of going back and mark them all as embedded resource
AGAIN. (I can set all of the items in one folder at once, but there are
about 9 folders.)

I would LIKE to set the DEFAULT "build action" for newly added items (in
this project, at least) to "Embedded Resource". I don't see how to do
this. And searching Google is not helpful since there are so many hits
that tell you to select "an" item and set its build action to "Embedded
Resource". I want this to be the default.

Thanks for any insight. We might use Visual Studio 2008 soon, if that
helps.
