    C++ compiling too big.

    Well I have both MSVC++ 6 and 2005 and when I compile it seems like its adding a LOT of useless code. I was wondering where the option was that I could change this? because 2 of the same programs 1 in masm32 and 1 in C++ doing the same thing being 42kb difference in size is just ridicules.

    Create empty project and try release build instead of debug build.

    Yes I can see how 42kb breaks customers monthly download quotas...........

    You probably do have a switch set somewhere, which includes a dependency in your executable. Whether that be, a picture, or a DLL.
