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.

problem when i try to stop a timer

10-Aug-07 3:54

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 | :~

are you saying that the timer is getting his updates not from the windows clock?
if so then from what clock does it updates? (bios????)

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.
