Pointless no. Since I am getting paid for it it is not pointless.
My point is that reverse engineering is very hard. You said you know Visual Basic 6 and HTML. To do this would most likely AT LEAST require GOOD and solid knowledge of C++, but most likely you will have to dabble with assembly code. Are you familiar with any of these languages?

You can read here for some more info on decompiling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompiler

Binary exe files are not like HTML where you can just go in and edit the source code as text, exe files are binary files, itīs zeroes and ones.
