Bit of a basic question here but how can I go about examining what any
particular executable actually does on my machine, in, say, a similar way to
the way in which you can open up a batch file or script file in notepad and
with a bit of programming knowledge see what it actually does?

Thanks

Batch and script files tend to be text and thus decipherable for the most
part. Since executables are compiled, you won't have much luck discerning
their function via that method.

Is there a simple way to decompile such files into a readable format or do
you always need to be privy to secret passwords etc?

Thanks
