its a precompiled header
you are not making an empty project that that is why you are getting those files.
a precompiled header and cpp are meant to save your application time.
look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h552b3ca.aspx
I would recommend you start with empty projects since you are just starting to get into programming. |

this is bad advice from a bad programmer. devc++ is globally recognised as an outdated ide that is no longer maintained by all proficient programmers. the only reason one might decide to use it at this point is because it lacks many features and hence is less confusing to a beginner. however, these same features are essentially necessities once you get beyond a novice level. coolman++'s assertions that you should stay away from vc++ indicates what level he is at.
in op's case, there is not much reason not to use vc++, which is pretty much the de facto standard for c++ ide on the windows platform |

i agree dev C++ is outdated however, i found it a better help for beginner level. slugsnack, you shouldn't even be arguing with me. Your ego doesn't let you win. |

None should be arguing about the statement you made. |
