hi all,my question is why when i'm opening exe files with notepad, some strange unreadable symbols occur..because as i know,exe file is made of 1's and 0's only..why it doesn't work with notepad?

lol, I didn't want to ask, but did want to know also.

Tell us what you are trying to do and maybe we can suggest the proper application to use.

well infact,i'm just curious,i'm reading some books on computer architecture and so on, and everything is a big mess for me..i have tried to read books and search google,but i still can't understand those exe,dll etc. files.. :( and don't know where to search for an answer..
in these books is written that an exe file is made of one's and zeroes but there is no chance to view this binary data with notepad..and other text editor,this is killing me..and even when i wrote a simple "hello world" program in C and try to open it with text editor,I see thousands of different unreadable symbols.. which is very strange,provided that the whole program is few lines..
