Users of the tool eXeScope could examine, view, and edit files like EXE and DLL. Users can access a variety of file features, including header information, environmental functions used, and resource content, using this software.

The ability to alter the resources contained in an executable file was one of the software's key features. This might entail altering the text displayed in a dialog box or menu, changing the font type or size, or modifying the language used in international software to make it accessible in another language. Additionally, it gave users the option to modify a file's physical resources, including its icons, cursors, images, audio, and video. Here are a few real-world applications for the software:

• Change the language of the software: For instance, if a user wants to use Spanish-language software that was developed in another country but is mainly available in English, they can use it to do so.
• Change the font size or type: For instance, a user of the software may use it to enlarge their font if they have visual impairments and need it larger to read text.
• A user might want to change a window's position or size to better fit their screen or to increase or decrease its size depending on their needs.

Analyzing a downloadable file's dependencies was another good feature. Users could use this information to identify and remove underused libraries or to troubleshoot compatibility issues by seeing which DLL libraries a file was using. Additionally, it could examine the DLL library's features, which could be helpful for software developers.

eXeScope continues to serve as a reminder of how crucial it is to have access to tools for editing and analyzing downloadable files even though the software has been updated. Dated May 23, 2004, is the most recent version. Windows 95, 98, Windows NT4.0, 2000, and XP operating systems were supported by this version. The operating system architecture has changed, so even though the software is made to work with older versions of Windows, it might hardly function properly with newer versions.
