What/Where is the "Symbol Browser" in Visual Studio 2008?

OK, so this is the background... I'm going to manually fix the multiple resource header files in our project. That involves fixing this value, among other things: #define _APS_NEXT_SYMED_VALUE ... that is automatically written to in (normally) resource.h.

It's documented as having this purpose:

_APS_NEXT_SYMED_VALUE is the next symbol value that will be issued when you manually assign a symbol value using the New command in the Symbol Browser.

But where is the Symbol Browser!? I want to know, as I want to know what I'm setting these values for. I know what the Class Browser/View is, I know what the Object Browser is, but this is driving me nuts. :-D I've even googled for "visual studio" "symbol browser", but came up with no documentation of the browser in question. I know I'm at the right place if there's a "New" command there, and I can manually assign a symbol value in it. Hmm...

In Visual Studio, select the View/Resource View menu option then, in the Resource View, right-click the .rc file and select Resource Symbols.

Documentation can be found here on MSDN.
