the problem with picking apart exes's is figuring out what language was used to write 
it use resorse hacker as said above and look for any text srtings and if your luck 
ull pick up the company that made the program that made the exe (they like to gloat 
in source code occasionaly) it is not likley to be a simple self exracting exe it 
could be writen in a wide variety of programing languages

or you could simply install the background and then remove the spyware

but be warned there are scrips to hide things inside images (jpg's, gif's ect).... 
and i cant thing of a use of doing that on a large scale ecept for sinister pourposes... 
spyware, vii ect...
