2) Run a 'strings' like program over the .exe to extract out all the strings from the .exe itself. Might turn up some interesting stuff. e.g. the web address of the developer
If you have a Win resorce editor available, it is often possible to put those strings in some context. It may also be possible to find related data in dialogs or icons that could be difficult to identify otherwise.
I usually bounce unknown file names against the fileadvisor service of bit9, as knowing in what context the file appears can sometime provide ideas. In this case, though, the name does not seem to be recorded by bit9, which suggests that it's probably not freeware or generally or easily available software. Don't forget to check if the binary is digitally signed.
