i am noticing that the 16bit wowexec.exe is tagging along with my vanilla win32 program. I'd like to know why, and how to rid my process of the tag along. any ideas?

Are you on a 64-bit Windows system? If so, wowexec is also used to run 32-bit applications. It's normal and you can't (and shouldn't) get rid of it.
