PE Explorer is pretty powerful, easy to use and resource editing is really simple. Also, it has a built-in debugger, whereas many resource editors that have PE Explorer's features don't have one.

After using the demo version, I find that PE Explorer is cool and great, esp. the Resource Editor. I'm learning to be a programmer. Sometime I need to make a customized BMP for my clients, such as their company logo, and it was tedious to put different BMP in the resource and link them again. Now I can use your handy Resource Editor to change to BMP in just a simple way.

Besides being an effective Resource Editor, PE Explorer also provides several tools that elevate it to Power Coder status: an API Function Syntax Lookup, Dependency Scanner, Section Editor, and a powerful yet easy-to-use Disassembler. PE Explorer is a great tool for analyzing what procedures, functions, methods and libraries a malware executable uses without ever activating the executable itself — a great advantage over debuggers where malicious code needs to be run to be analyzed.
