Need Guidance on best way to learn for PRoject

[okman]

I have a small project, i want to learn as i try to do this. I feel this the best way for me to learn. As it keeps me interested.

I have a program .exe with all dlls etc...

I am not sure what language it was coded using.

It has a menu, and a settings option. In the settings there is a tick box option for a certain setting. I want to find out, what happens when the item is ticked and when it is not ticked (programatically).

I need to eventually decompile the program and get to see the code to know what is happening.

Please guide me on the best path, i should take to learn.

Please dont flame me, if my request was unfair. I am not asking for people to do it, i am asking help so that i can learn how to do it.

I am familiar with C,C++ and C#

Thanks

what happens when the item is ticked and when it is not ticked (programatically).

if it's coded in .NET then you can use .NET Tracer to track events.

I need to eventually decompile the program and get to see the code to know what is happening.

you can use Reflector to decompile it if it's a .NET assembly.
