Using Visual Studio Debug build

each time I do a build the system does this

>Creating browse information file...

which takes an annoying few seconds

I've set "Enable Browse Information" to NONE so I cannot see why this is
still being built - I dont need the browse information.

If anyone can tell me what setting to change I'd be very grateful

Regards
Phil

Although I find the Browse Information helpful, myself, I'll answer anyway. :)

The setting you have made should turn it off. Check your C/C++ Command Line property page to see if any command line option is
manually entered in the box there (such as /Fr or /FR).

Phil is using VC 8 (VS 2005), and the article you shared is for VC 6.

Sorry, here's how to do it in VS2005:

Open Project Properties
Select Browse Information/General in the tree on the left
Blank out "Output file" in the right pane

Now the browse info file is not created anymore.
