Resources Explorer was written by me after I’ve spent too much time (as I thought)
trying to find some resources I wanted to use in my app. It was an AVI usually shown
when you delete some file. So due to my previously written programm (which shows the
modules other application uses while running) and the MSDEV I searched through
all these modules in order to find this specific resource and finally succeded.
So appeared the idea – the result is in front of you.
Resources Explorer can show you the resources included in .EXE and .DLL files.
It is your decision what to do with them after extraction. By the way: I guessed
some formats of files (like BMP, ICO or CUR) but not all of them, so in most cases
you will just get the raw binary data.
