Where are those cookies stored? This is not a rhetorical question. You just might have to search the HD to find them. But without that information, deleting said files won't be possible.

Such a function does not exist. You will need to create your own.

Firefox stores your cookies in the automatically generated file cookies.txt under your specific Profile folder. Just delete the cookies.txt file from that folder.

char szPath[MAX_PATH];
SHGetFolderPath(NULL, CSIDL_APPDATA, NULL, SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT, szPath);
PathAppend(szPath, "Mozilla\\cookies.txt");

At this point, verify that szPath contains the correct value.

i have a program (which i didn't create) that have a built in timer.
the timer count backwards and i want to prevent the timer from hitting zero.

i tried compiling this c program:

<pre>
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <time.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>

size_t main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
SYSTEMTIME time;
GetSystemTime(&time);
while(!kbhit())
SetSystemTime(&time);
if(!getch())
getch();
return 0;
}
</pre>

and its stopping the windows (win xp sp2) clock but not the program timer, do anyone have a suggestion how to make the timer stop counting back?

thanks to anyone who actually read the post Big Grin | :-D

Which is what?

More importantly, just what exactly are you trying to accomplish?

You've got a program containing a timer. That timer counts backwards.
Now you run another program that resets the Windows time as fast as it can.
And you are astonished that the first program still counts backwards?
Unsure | :~

Surely not. Especially if it just counts some numbers backwards, and not a time.
There are a plethora of different timers in Windows:
SetTimer and WM_TIMER are the most basic ones.
But there are High-ResolutionTimers and MultimediaTimers...

You definitly need to read the MSDN Topic "About Timers".

When the application is using SetTimer / WM_TIMER, you could try sending WM_TIMER messages to the application window.
See is this speeds up the timer.

On of the gaping security holes in windows design: Anyone can send any message to anyone. (See also WM_COPYDATA).

The wizard as also Propertysheets are using the size of biggest sheet. Check this out.

If this wont help you it is best to think about writing the wizard with multiple dialogs. Dead | X|

The framework uses the size of the largest page to determine how much space to allocate in the property sheet for the property pages. So, how many pages does your sheet have?

Mine property sheet has 7 pages, and all property pages have same size.
But the problem is that even if i have only one property page in a property sheet, still i see some extra space(along with property sheet border)other than dialog's space.

Button having caption Cancel occupies the whole property page, but still there is some space occupied by property sheet, I have pointed that with some painting of blue colored airbrush.

I could be wrong, but I think that spacing is normal.

When you are deleting an array of elements that you created using new, you should be doing it using '[]'

delete []variable;

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
