How would I edit an .exe?

I've tryed to use Hex editor and those don't work well unless I'm using them wrong ?

A hex editor is one way. You could use a disassembler too. What exactly are you trying to edit? Its not as if you can open one up and see a bunch of C++ code or something. What happens when you open it in a hex editor that leads you to believe you're doing it incorrectly?

I think you could always use the evil program known simply as... DEBUG

:runs into a corner and hides:


Not going to help you out there... Assembly programming is WAY to weird for me... I tried it once, and have yet to understand anything but the concepts.

I used a Hex editor the other day to edit my explorer.exe file so that I could change my start menu. Once I played around with the hex editor a little while I finally got the hang of it, but hex editors are kinda hard to use at first. I would think you could edit the file with a hex editor.

Well, its fairly trivial to do things like editting strings with a text editor. Doing much more beyond that, like maybe cracking a game, takes alot more skill and effort.
