[URL="http://www.ehow.com/how_2315200_make-exe-files-using-notepad.html"]How to Make EXE Files Using Notepad.[/URL] Whoever wrote this article is either a troll or a moron. Considering they hire people to write articles, the former doesn't seem very likely.

Rofl, that has to be a joke. … Right?

Ha Lol. What a troll. I would like to see who would actually believe this

Whats even better is the comments on the article. "People" saying stuff like "Wow! So helpful!" and "Thanks, it worked"...etc... Guess we know the commenters are not real either...

[QUOTE=Bumrang;39383414][URL="http://www.ehow.com/how_7394723_run-setup_dll.html"]How to run setup.dll[/URL][/QUOTE] What is this I don't even... Okay. It took me a minute to figure out what exactly it meant, but it seems like it's referring to that "free scan for XXXXX.dll-related errors" link that [URL="http://web.archive.org/web/20100111071326/http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?setup"]used to[/URL] be on dll-files.com? It links to that Registry Scanner found in the Resources section. Who [I]writes[/I] these things?!?!? :suicide:

It seems more likely they've been written by bots.

Eh, I've written exe files using this method before but there's a lot of details missing. Hugely important ones.

Actually, the article is correct. Many compilers support compiling of sources with extension different than .cpp/.cxx, so you can call your C++ code an .exe. The article states that "an "exe" file is an executable file or a program file". C++ code files are not executable files, but they are program files, they contain programs written in C++. And they say that .exe is an executable file [B]or[/B] a program file, so it is not necessarily both. And under Linux, you can even make it executable file by adding #!/path-to-a-cpp-compiler-that-executes-program-instantly-after-compiling to the beginning adding execute rights to the file. To write it in Notepad, you can install Wine.

C++ code is not a program file either... it's a source file

i hope to shit this Kristin woman is just a victim of a compromised account or something
