Firstly, welcome to the forums :)

2nd, you can use programs like resource hacker and resource tuner to open .DLL and .EXE files.

Thirdly, I don't know but if there's no config command then prob. not.

SikStyles, a little advice: don't double-post, instead, use the edit button. :) Forum rules.

To edit DLLs and EXEs you should know what you're doing. If you don't, I suggest you don't edit those files, as you could end up damaging the files (always make a back-up of the file you're going to edit).

Most of us have been around PCs for most of our lives, me for example.

DLL files will be compiled into resources and without lenghty sessions for decoding the assembly code all you will see are its dialogs and icons and strings and images.

to matty: so basically u learn it all by urself. not any tutorials for tthis?


RE: is it possible? by segosa on 01-29-2005 at 06:21 AM

DLL files are only useful when used by another program (an exe) you can't "run" them as an app unless you use rundll32.exe but there is no reason you would WANT to do so. They're for use by other programs.

SikStyles: I can't really say many people use "tutorials" for trivial things like knowing what a DLL does. I only read C++ tutorials. :p


RE: is it possible? by SikStyles on 01-29-2005 at 03:55 PM

yea i know but i thought like u know it teaches u to do sometin u dont know but i guess there isnt :P

ok guys tnx anyways, im just gonna take some .dll file make a backup file and then change it the way i can :D

I'm always hesitant to play with .dlls because you can really screw up your machine I mean BIG TIME

RE: is it possible? by saralk on 01-29-2005 at 05:09 PM

you could screw up a program by messing with .dlls

but what if you mess around with rundll32?

A dll is technically less dangerous than an exe as routines inside the dll can't be executed unless called by an external app. If you're referring to the mass amount of dlls in \system32 then deleting/modifying them is obviously not a smart thing to do, and the same goes for exes. I'd say editing the registry is something more likely to screw up your system.

EDIT: Bah, beat me to it.

lol i'd never edit .dll files that are important to my computer such as rundll32, i just use a little program what i dled or sometin and see what can i do with it...for example this wmplus plugin for msn i just wanted too see how its done and thats it...never ment to save it too...i dont know what can i do with it :P
