In Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, I have a stdfax.h,.cpp file coming up when a create a new project; well I gives a problem when I am about to compile the existing program and it won't compile. I don't need this file. Does anybody know to get rid of it?

I would appreciate the help. I am frustrated.

What you have here is what's called pre-compiled headers.
When you create a project MS VS will usually tack this on as default
unless you specifically tell it not to.

To turn this off (I'm using VS 2k5 Pro) but should be the same
for VS 2k8 express

1)Open up the project
2) Select "Project" from the menu can select "Properties" (Alt- F7)
3) Click on the tree
"Configuration Properties" -> "C/C++" -> "Precompiled Headers"
4) There should be a drop down that allows you to turn this off
5) You should now be able to delete the stdafx.h/.cpp files

See the image attached for clarification.
