Hi John,

I think you are looking for a real big problem :-)

Just for the starter.
- Get a real good books about Internal Windows System.
- Get PE documentation at MSDN, and from google.
- Get as many tools and source code samples as you can. Such as PE Explorer, PEDump, PE...blah. Also get Dependency Walker at MSDN for the supplement tools. I think I saw a dump file on the UT download area
- Learn the structure characteristic for each file.
- and so on...

Have a good time and a real good luck!
Regards
