i hate zune marketplace
it sucks. out loud
so why do i want my computer eating all the cpu power when i could just skip it and have a 10x faster zune software experience
so i made this program
simple, easy.
1 to enable
2 to disable
-this assumes zune is at C:\Program Files\Zune\
it renames the marketplace .dll to marketplace1.dll
no error message even...microsoft sure is DUMB1!1!

They're not dumb, it's graceful error handling. Also, don't hardcode paths, get them dynamically. Here is an example of retrieving the path to program files.
| Code: |
#include <windows.h>
#include <shlobj.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main( int argc, char* argv[])
{
char ProgramFiles[MAX_PATH]; LPITEMIDLIST li;
if (SUCCEEDED(SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(NULL, CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES, &li))) {
if (SHGetPathFromIDListA(li, ProgramFiles)) {
printf("Path to program files is %s", ProgramFiles);
}
CoTaskMemFree(&li);
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

How does this justify your hard-coding?

| Many people don't have Windows installed on C:\. Just because it works for you doesn't mean it'll work for other people.

A compromise between laziness and (erm) working-ness, would be to use %ProgramFiles%\Zune

Edit: Only for managed C++, my bad if this is CLR, or Win32
Edit2: damn, its CLR, o well, u get the idea on how to make a GUI version of this.
u could also make someone choose there destination...
using the switch function to use default or to use ur own destination
| Managed C++ Only :: Lurc wrote: | y dont u do something like this
make a textBox for the Destination.
and a check box that sais "Default (C:\Program Files\Zune)"
now instead of stating where zune is placed
use this
| Code: | char oldname[] = textBox1->Text + "\\Zunemarketpace.dll";
char newname[] = textBox1->Text + "\\zunemarketplace1.dll"; |
code snippet:
| Code: | if(checkBox1->Checked == true) {
textBox1->Disabled = true;
char oldname[] = "C:\\Program Files\\Zune\\zunemarketplace.dll";
char newname[] = "C:\\Program Files\\Zune\\zunemarketplace1.dll";
}
else if (checkBox1->Checked == false) {
textBox1->Diabled = false;
char oldname[] = textBox1->Text + "\\zunemarketplace.dll";
char newname[] = textBox1->Text + "\\zunemarketplace1.dll";
} |
