** Don't try to modify a prog by editing his source
in a dissasembler.Why?
CAuse that's for programmers and assembly experts only.
If any of you dumb kids try to view it in hex you'll
only get tons of crap you don't understand. First off,
you need Resource Hacker(last version).It's a resource
editor-very easy to use.

** Unzip the archive, and run ResHacker.exe. You can check
out the help file too,if you want to be a guru.
** You will see that the interface is simple and clean. Go to
the menu File\Open or press Ctrl+O to open a file. Browse
your way to the file you would like to edit. You can edit
*.exe, *.dll, *.ocx, *.scr and *.cpl files, but this
tutorial is ment to teach you how to edit *.exe files,
so open one.
** In the left side of the screen a list of sections will appear.
The most common sections are: -Icon;
-String table;
-RCData;
-Dialog;
-Cursor group;
-Bitmap;
-WAV.
^^ Icon: You can wiew and change the icon(s) of the program by
double-clicking the icon section,chossing the icon,
right-clicking on it an pressing "replace resource". After
that you can choose the icon you want to replace the original with.
^^ String table: a bunch of crap, useful sometimes, basic programming
knowladge needed.
^^ RCData: Here the real hacking begins. Modify window titles,
buttons, text, and lots more!
^^ Dialog:Here you can modify the messages or dialogs that appear
in a program. Don't forget to press "Compile" when you're done!
^^ Cursor group: Change the mouse cursors used in the program just
like you would change the icon.
^^ Bitmap: View or change images in the programs easy!
^^ WAV:Change the sounds in the prog. with your own.
** In the RCData,Dialog,Menu and String table sections you can do a lot
of changes. You can modify or translate the text change links,
change buttons, etc.
$ TIP: To change a window title, search for something
like: CAPTION "edit this".
$ TIP: After all operations press the "Compile Script" button,
and when you're done editing save your work @ File\Save(Save as).
$ TIP: When you save a file,the original file will be backed up by
default and renamed to Name_original and the saved file will have
the normal name of the changed prog.
$ TIP: Sometimes you may get a message like: "This program has a
non-standard resource layout... it has probably been compressed with
an .EXE compressor." That means that Resource Hacker can't modify
it becouse of it's structure.
