Assuming you are using VS 6.0, so to build your project in Release Build mode, simply proceed as follows:





1. From 'Build' menu, select 'Set Active Configuration..."


2. A small pop-up window will show up.


3. Select 'Release build" from that window, then press OK.





And "YES" it will reduce your exe file size greatly, since it will not include any debug information with the exe, which will results in reducing the overall exe file size.





Thanks.
