How to disable debugging symbols in VS2008.
I'd unchecked "load symbols ..." in Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> Symbols but directories as ".pdb" and file pingme.txt still appear in my project folders.
A:
Well not from there.
Go in Project Properties > Compile Tab > Advanced Compile Options (button)
After that you will have a combo box(Generate Debug Info) and select None

A:
Which symbols are appearing? You will still get them for your code unless you disable them in project settings.
Also check environment variable _NT_SYMBOL_PATH is not set.

If that environment variable is set and Options | Debugging | Symbols is empty, then VS will use the value of `_NT_SYMBOL_PATH` to find symbols. Both need to be clear.
