Need to Edit File


Question

I created a BartPE boot disk for an elderly gentlemen. The disk is fine,

but a critical file contains one line with some very unpleasant language.

Please remember, generations ago men usually did not curse in front

of women, and women weren't suppose to use "off color" language

at all!

The file is an executable that loads in the system tray. It displays a

splash screen with the words "half-assed." Except for this unfortunate

line, the rest of the plugin is very good.

The file was created with the popular scripting program AutoIt. Resource

Hacker couldn't open this file because it's compressed, but Resource Tuner

did the job easily. All the resources were displayed by Resource Tuner.

The problem is I can't find the line anywhere. The splash screen is

probably a jpeg or gif. I moved the file out of its folder to my desktop.

I was hoping an error box would appear, listings its dependencies.

Unfortunately, it seems to load from any location.

I ran Sysinternals Process Explorer and Process Monitor. Neither app

pointed to another file where this line might be hidden.

How could a line contained in a splash screen be so completely hidden?

I need an app that will uncover this line so I can edit it out. Which resource

editor should I use?
