PEiD Tab 1.4.7.992

PEiD Tab is a free utility that extends the capabilities of Windows Explorer by adding a PE file research function that allows you to find out the compiler, and therefore the programming language used when writing a program, packer or cryptor. The packer is determined by searching for a signature.

The current version can define 672 different signatures in PE files. You can also add custom signatures. There is a possibility of disassembling the file. The disadvantages include the fact that you can bypass the algorithm for searching for its signatures, and it will not find the desired signature.

Using the utility is very easy - after installing PEiD Tab, you need to right-click on the desired file (shortcut, application, DLL or other executable file), select Properties from the drop-down menu, and go to the PEiD (PE iDentifier) tab that appears.
