Help with .EXE file

[alexboza]

How can I open an .exe file to see the actual code?:confused: Alex

Use Visual Studio. Open as binary.

You can't see the actual code, just the machine language binary numbers put out by the compiler/assembler/linker. To get a better understanding of what's inside an exe file, see the following article by Matt Pietrek: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/02/PE/default.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/03/PE2/default.aspx
