PADDINGXXPAD.....
Yes, I also thought WTF some weeks ago, while playing with UpdateResource.

But nevermind.. it's just another strange M$ thingy, and afaik will only come

up when using UpdateResource. Well, as the string says itself.. it's used

for section alignment - in order not to get odd sizes by updating resources.

Simply forget it ;)

thanks for you reply

I can delete without the executable file gets errors?

just fill the PADDING bytes will 00.

it is exactly what they say they are, padding, to preserve alignment.

Resource Binder does the same thing when rebuilding resources... most annoying :)
