actually, yes it is, but all you will get is assembly. What you see when you open an exe file in notepad is character representations of binary machine code. using a disassembler you can possibly get assembly code from it.

Programmers do not type "(*#*FJH%&^$S*R" to make programs, instead they write code like

while(x==1)

{

make_a_sandwich(); //this is just an example

read_a_file(); // they dont really make sandwiches

}

then the code is compiled into binary numbers the computer can understand, then the numbers are executed as specific instructions.

very confusing task. check out over bing and yahoo. this can help!

might be encrypted or not have the proper program opening it.
