Modify Resources In An EXE File

Do you want to change the icon, graphics, dialog or sounds used in a particular program? If so, this is typically not possible unless you have access to the source files, but through the magic of Resource Hacker, you now have the ability.

This free utility is more for power users as it allows you to add, modify, extract and delete resources (i.e. images, sounds, etc.) in a compiled program. The usage is very simple, just run the program and then select the binary file to read the data from. You can’t get to everything in a binary file, just more of the “top level” stuff. Nevertheless, this is a great utility for power users and developers to have.

No installation is required, just download and run.

Warning: Modifying EXE’s and recompiling them can produce unpredictable results, so do so at your own risk!
