Nopes's it's not that easy , you actually have to open the resource fork of the file explorer.exe and edit it , which is not easy using basic C++ classes .

If you open file in binary mode then it will open the data fork of the file , i.e. the actual executablee instructions and not the resources which we want to edit .

this might help you out on programmatically editing resources .
