If you know what program it is made up from then also you will not be able to modify it unless you have the original source code for the exe.

If you want to make from scratch then you just need the very basic info. Is it a win application or a dos based one which can be easily inferred from the looks of the application / exe file

i don`t think it`s that simple.. this specific program works with the internet and has some particular funcitons that i don`t believe can be made with any program..
