There is absolutely no reason for someone to be messing around with the binary in this era of assemblers and compilers. But if you are overly curious, run your debug. Open the command prompt and type debug followed by the file pathname of your exe file.
You can then type ? return to get the help menu.

u unassemble will dump a portion of code.
d dumps data
q quit
