3.5/5

PE Explorer is an open-source application designed to help you explore the contents of portable executable files. It is a pretty self-explanatory tool, featuring a minimalistic user interface and a fairly intuitive layout.

This is a great utility for users who know what they are doing, but it is worth noting that no documentation is included whatsoever, so novices may need to look elsewhere.

One good thing about PE Explorer is that there is no need to go through an installation process before using it. Once downloaded, you only need to unpack the archive and launch the executable file.

The program allows you to load EXE, DLL, OCX, OBJ, LIB and SYS files, which can be done using the Open dialog or by simply dropping them into the main window. It is also possible to analyze multiple files at once in separate windows.

In order to explore the contents of the imported file, you need to select one or more of the options in the left-hand panel, toolbar or View menu, depending on what exactly you are interested in.

Each view is opened in a separate tab, keeping things nice and organized, and you can close them at any time if they are no longer needed.

As far as the user interface is concerned, we can only appreciate its simple, intuitive layout, which even novice users should have no problems with.

Unfortunately, though, no documentation is available, so you will have to rely on other sources for explanations if you are not already familiar with the process.

In conclusion, PE Explorer is a small, helpful utility that enables you to explore the contents of portable executable files. It is easy enough to use, provided you know what you are doing, and it features a streamlined user interface.
