modification of GUI for 16-Bit Program

Dear All;
This is the first time for me here in this forum and your help is urgently required..
in the attached 16Bit-program (Turbo C++) I would like to make modification in user interface so I can disable the browsing option in file menu -- open windows, cuz I am using this software for my students and I have applied group policy for restericting drive access for exams, but cuz turbo C is 16 bit application so they can brows the hard drive through open menu, so the best solution is disabling this menu..
sorry for my english

Note: the exec file is TC.exe inside Bin folder

Try to edit it with "eXeScope" or "Resource Builder"

Dear OKRam
Thanks for your help; the eXeScope program can open the EXE file but edit option is not active, so I can't do anything on file..
Resource Builder can't open the file and said unrecognaized format..

Please try to help

waiting for any reply ASAP

Best Regards

Hi reagent !
You can use the Borland Resource Workshop. It is too old, but can open and edit 16bit NE file (and 32bit PE file). Find it with Google or on the Delphi/C++Builder install disk.
Good luck !

Crackz revsering site you can find it

This program is not a PE or NE executable, because of that no resource editors will work... It's simply a DOS exe, probably built using Borlands TVision text-UI if I recall correctly.
I've had a quick look at it, and must ask one thing: If browsing is to be not allowed, how would you want the user to open his/her files?
Should they write the complete pathname there?

You can try to open that prog in any exe-editor, search the string appearing on the menu, and replace the first char of this string by the binary "0".

I don't have sufficient user rights to download your attachment yet.
The Turbo C++ IDE tc.exe file is an old world style 16bit (DOS) executable. None of the modern tools or techniques being suggested by some of the posters here will work with it.
I have experience of disabling the "File Open" (F3) option in tc.exe from Turbo C v2.1, I don't know which is your version number but if you can somehow arrange to send the file tc.exe to me I can fix it for you.
