Lord knows how I forgot to post about this little gem! ResHacker is a (sadly) now defunct project by Angus Johnson. Despite its age (development was halted back in 2004 (hey, remember when World of Warcraft had just come out?)) it is still nearly indispensable for the power user. ResHacker give you the ability to open the hood on a variety of executables, .dll files and other application resource files allowing you to see embedded icons, menus and options. I first discovered the program when I read about Matthijs van de Water MSN Messenger modifications created using ResHacker. Matthijs was able to remove ads, buttons and menu items to strip away all the flab in MSN Messenger leaving a much cleaner looking application. Since then I've used it to customize menus, fix translation mistakes in software and hundreds of other mods. One can only hope that we'll hear from Angus again with another break through application!
