Resource Hacker Overview

Resource Hacker™ is a resource editor for 32bit and 64bit Windows® applications.

It's both a resource compiler (for *.rc files), and a decompiler - enabling viewing and editing of resources in executables (*.exe; *.dll; *.scr; etc) and compiled resource libraries (*.res, *.mui).

While Resource Hacker™ is primarily a GUI application, it also provides many options for compiling and decompiling resources from the command-line.
