    does anybody know how to open a .exe file of a windows application in program files to view the ID of the files it holds?

    Not sure about the IDs of the files it holds, but a resource editor will open a windows executable and allow you play with any internal resources.

    You can see what dynamic link libraries it imports, if that is what you are after. There's an article I wrote (aimed at VB programmers) about the strutcure of the windows .exe file on TheCodePROJECT

    # List the DLLs (or is it functions) used by an exe file.
# This description is probably wrong - check dumpbin /help
dumpbin /imports FileName.exe

# List the functions exported by a DLL
dumpbin /exports FileName.dll
