I am using MS Visual C++ 6.0 (Professional edition) on Win XP 5.1 SP
2.

I am developing a Windows application that calls vanilla C/C++
classes. I have gone to
Project:Settings:C/C++:Code Generation
and selected
Debug Single-Threaded
under
Use Run-Time Library

You do realize that this in no way makes your application
single-threaded,
right? It just guarantees bad behavior if you use the CRT from more than
one thread.

To be honest, I did not realize this. Does this mean that there is no
way to make the application single-threaded? I guess CRT does not
mean "cathode ray tube". Is it the chip level redundantly threaded
multiprocessor?

You can have a single threaded application, yes, but there is no way to
"make" the application single threaded. A call to CreateThread will make a
new thread and there's very little you can do about it.
