How can I change visual studio 2008 solution resources to be linked and not embedded?

I'm developing a C# solution where I use files as external resources. I need to this files to be modified without building all solution again. I used to have shuch configuration and all went well. I don't remember what I changed but now all resources are embedded in .exe file, I cannot find a way to make them linked again.

In resource properties in all resources Persistence option is diabled and is set to Linked at compile time, so I don't think this is the problem because I think it must be this way.

I think it could be a language configuration, problem started when I changed a form language propiertie that created an language specific resx but later it returned to its original configuration.

Thanks

Take them out of resources, add (add existing file) them to the project, make sure you set the properties on each one to copy if newer, assuming you are happy to have them deployed in to the same folder as the exe/dll that depends on them.
