Program counter

Ducoltd

I'm a newbie at programming and I'm trying to write a program that
allows me to count the number of times a program is accessed with the
result to increment a log file. I can get it to work(ish) with vbs if
the user opens up the program first and then opens the file, but as
you can imagine most users open up the file by double clicking in
explorer or via shortcuts. Has anyone got any advice or can point me in
the right direction

Anyway thanks in advance!

Asking the same question three times in rapid succession is likely
to put people off helping you, ever.

Especially when it's as dramatically off-topic as this one is.

Try asking on a windows group (since this appears to be a windows-specific
question).

Newsgroups, not forums.

Removing posts (i.e., cancelling articles) doesn't always work. It's
implemented by sending out a "cancel" message, but many sites ignore
cancels -- and it's always possible that the cancel won't catch up
with the original message.

It's also important to provide context when you post a followup. See
<http://cfaj.freeshell. org/google/> for details. It's rarely
necessary to quote the entire article to which you're replying. Trim
anything that's not relevant. See most of the articles in this
newsgroup for examples.

<http://clc-wiki.net/wiki/Introduction_to _comp.lang.c> is a good
introduction to this newsgroup. The FAQ is at
<http://www.c-faq.com/>.

Problem with release build of program using pointers

by: Cam | last post by:

Hi all, The code below is a practical exercise and works well running in the debug environment but fails when being compiled for a release build. I believe this is because the debug environment takes care of memory allocation and the release build relies on code to do this. My research in my books and on the web has not provided any great help. I would be grateful for advice on what I need to do to correctly allocate the memory...

Need help with prime numbers program

by: brian.digipimp | last post by:

Write a program that prompts the user to input a positive integer. It should then output a message indicating whether the number is a prime number. (Note: An even number is prime if it is 2. An odd integer is prime if it is not divisible by an odd integer less than or equal to the square root of the number.) I was given this assignment in my c++ class and I'm having trouble with it. I've looked at the professors lab solutions but I just...

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
