Resource Hacker
This has been designed to be the complete resource editing tool
Resource Hacker is a utility for working with resources packaged in executable files. It includes a full set of tools for editing resources: compilation, viewing, decompiling and recompiling resources of 32-bit and 64-bit Windows executable files (*.exe; *.dll; *.scr; *.mui and so on). Resource Hacker can save, add, modify or delete individual resources from these files, as well as create and compile .rs scripts and edit .res files.
For ordinary users Reshacker will be interesting first of all as a convenient program for extracting icons, cursors, pictures from programs and in some cases audio and video files. For programmers, localizers, and people who understand why they need this program, Resource Hacker offers more opportunities, from translating programs into other languages to changing the interface and other functions. The program has a dialog editor and the ability to add new controls from Microsoft CommonControl classes. The utility provides an opportunity to work and compile through the command line using .rc scripts that are similar in style to the "C" language with additional parameters and directives (for example, #DEFINE, #UNDEF, #IF, #ELIF, #ELIF, #ELSE and so on).
Resource Hacker allows users to extract, add, modify, or delete resources from executable files, making it an essential tool for customization and localization.
