as most of you know.... im REALLY bad with a Hex editor. Now im attempting to activate a disabled button on an application. the code looks something like this:
E:pathtofileinadrivethatdoesntexist.cpp.FirstButton..SecondButton...ThirdButton...FourthButton....FifthButton...SixthButton
i know it can be done, but im not sure exactly how. do you think im looking in the right area?

Do you have an compiled or an uncompiled ... ehm ... project? If it is uncompiled, then you'll simply need to change the source / resource files. If it is compiled you should get a tool called Resource Hacker

i have resource hacker, but its not that kind of dll. it only shows version info. unfortunately, i only have the compiled version.....
also: i dont have an E: drive. is this some kind of virtual drive that the dll creates?

No. That's the name of the source file that the particular bit of code came from. With line numbers/filenames on, if some piece of code fails, the program can generate a debug message along the lines of "Error in [filename] on line number [xxx]" ... obviously that's a lot better from the programmers' point of view when it comes to bug fixing. It's no different to any other error message that might pop up; it's just text.
If it's not using some sort of graphical library like MFC or VCL, hacking the file would be tricky, though.

In that case the only way seems to be disassembling - but you'll get crazy when trying to do this :D
