You could use something like Boost[^]'s scoped_array[^] to avoid having to free the memory using a catch. Steve

By default a CWinThread object with auto delete itself upon thread exit. Not only will the thread handle within be invalid, the pointer itself will be invalid. Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

Thanks. Sorry, I apparently am not good at searching; I could only find the functions for WCHAR and char, not TCHAR. Those macros are perfect.

Thanks :-D That's some of the most useful info I've seen. The F12 will definitely come in handy.

STL containers are well optimized and you have several types where choose. A good practice is using STL (at least, it's my opinion) Dinamic resizing of vectors was a great help for me some years ago.

Did you try with WS_POPUP instead WH_CHILD on the MCI_OPEN command?

TOTALIO gives user programs access to the in and out instructions; any user program. This means that installing TOTALIO allows a badly written application to crash the whole system instead of just crashing itself. This is obviously the kind of thing that needs to be stopped. When a user’s computer blue screens Microsoft will cop the blame when the fault really lies with the software that installed TOTALIO. Steve

Would GetDiskFreeSpaceEx or similar do the trick? I am not sure if your concern about fragmenting the disk is necessary. Why do you want to second guess the OS? Just my opinion of course. Vaclav

Have a look at this[^] article. It describes exactly what you should and why you should do it that way. "It's supposed to be hard, otherwise anybody could do it!" - selfquote "High speed never compensates for wrong direction!" - unknown

Thanks for both of your responses :)

Thanks. I got it working, but there is one thing that would make it a lot easier... Is there a way to get the address of the Entry point of the program after using CreateProcess with CREATE_SUSPENDED. I know it stops it at the Entry point, but I don't know how to get the address of it. Thanks again.
