PE Explorer combines a resource viewer, extractor, rebuilder, and a resource editor. Once the file is open, you will see a directory structure similar to Windows Explorer. Each folder represents a different type of resource used by the target application (graphics, menu, dialog boxes, icons, etc). In each folder there is a list of the resource files.

You can view any resource embedded in the file. Simply expand the directory and click on the name of the resource.

PE Explorer is also available as a resource-only edition! If you want to edit resources only but don't need debugging functionality, Resource Tuner is the right product for you. Resource Tuner is available for $39.95 only.   [Download a trial version]

Now you can edit, save or delete these resource files by right clicking on the chosen resource type and selecting an action from popup menu. Double-clicking a resource opens the item in the default editor for that resource type.

Use PE Explorer special procedures to modify existing resources, change executable file version numbers and copyright strings, add an application manifest, or export and save an entire file's resources to your hard disk.

There are standard resource types such as bitmap, icon, menu, dialog, cursor, font, stringtable, message table, typelib, toolbar, accelerators and version info. Other resource types may also be defined by the programmer and are displayed in upper case: GIF, PNG, HTML, XML, Manifest. Programs compiled using the Borland VCL do not commonly have menu, dialog, or accelerator resources, but store this information in a resource type named RCData or the Application-defined resource (raw data) that holds the information that were in the DFM file before the compilation.

If VCL Delphi/C++ Builder is the case, and RCData contains DFM forms, all the found objects with all assigned properties and events will be displayed in a hierarchical tree. You can navigate easily through the objects and save their contents (Image Lists, Strings List, Glyphs, Bitmaps etc). PackageInfo shows all units used during compiling an executable. DVCLAL shows the compiler version for Borland products.

PE Explorer's Resource Editor attempts to be the most convenient and easy-to-use PE resource editor available for Windows. Visual editing features let you quickly modify the resources without writing any scripts. All changes made to resources can be watched on the screen and, if you are not satisfied with the result, you can return to the previous state. If changing some values would result in unpleasant consequences, modification of the given data will usually be disallowed. However, in some cases PE Explorer relies on your common sense and understanding of what you are going to do.
