Comments don't compile into code and thus don't end up in hte EXE, unless you have Debug set on in which case all code stays in hte Exe to be able to get the debugger to step through code and report error lines etc.

Doing a REBUILD should pack the project and clean out any gunk from VCX/SCX files. When you build do:

BUILD EXE from RECOMPILE

or use the switch in the project build options.

One of the things I can do is remove alot of the comments within the code and I was surprised that that isn't done when the exe is built. I mostly use classes and when I open the exe with a text editor I can see all my comments sitting there.
