How to detect if an *.exe/*.dll is 32bit oder 64bit?

Assume I have got an *.exe or *.dll. How can I find out (without trial and error) if this
is a 32bit or a 64bit version?

Is there a inspect tool/easy (!) disassembler which peeks into the binary code and
tells me the information? Maybe a built-in WinXP tool?

Filever.exe appears to be able to distinguish between OS/2, DOS, 32 and
64-bit files. They are reported as follows:
- DOS
- OS2
- W32i
- W32 (64-bit)
The tool is included with the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...76-9bb9-4126-9761-ba8011fabf38&displaylang=en).
