If this isn't possible, let me know. Perhaps someone could, ehm, make a version with the default file as a selection in the IDE...

If you use format PE or format MZ then the output defaults to .exe
It is all in how you set the format. |

I don't quite understand your reply... How do I set this 'pe' or 'mz' format for the compiler?

Thank you both! However, I noticed it makes the .exe considerably larger for such a small purpose. Is this supposed to happen?

Theoretically YES: format binary as "EXE" (but .COM default is only with use16 + org $0100 - so no Win32 anyway). > I program in win32 mostly all of the time Then you don't have this problem, you will use format PE only and it does default to EXE. Note that format MZ is not a Win32 executable, and .COM even less. > make a version with the default file as a selection in the IDE... NO. SSOO http://flatassembler.net/docs.php?article=design > noticed it makes the .exe considerably larger larger than what ? > Is this supposed to happen? Again, format PE is obligatory for Win32 programming, except you use format binary to brew your PE manually or use a linker. And NO, there is no way to make a PE Hello World below 1 KiB without very bad hacks. PE in the only executable format natively supported in Win32.

Yes, because the COM files only include what your source has whereas the "format MZ" also includes information of the MZ executable format itself.
However, what OS are you targeting? Do you what a DOS executable or a Windows executable? If the latter is the case then your only option is "format PE" (and the extra options, check manual), it makes an EXE but this one needs Windows to run and under DOS it will say "this program requires Windows to run". |

But take in mind that fasm will format it as plain binary instead the expected MZ format. |

For Win32 programming you need Win32 examples, so things like org 100h or int 21h or pop ds are a strong sign that you picked wrong examples.  |
