Use a disassembler like W32dasm, or even SoftIce. This won't give u th code, but if u have in-depth knowledge, u can understand th logic of th prog. But make sure u r not violating th terms of th license agreement.

@CompaqVijay
so you want to do reverse engineering

@Kl@w-24
You said it all.

No tool can convert exe to source code.
Find one and u will be the einstein of programming world.

U can use WDASM32 or Softice or exe dumpers to see the assembly code of the program.This is often called reverse engineering and can be used to debug some common problems.

Hex editors can be used also to some extent.

WDASM 32 and hex editors are mostly used by crackers to bypass cd protections and serial checks of some softwares.

U have a long way 2 go before learning these tools.
