Any help is much appreciated.

 

- Thank You

 

 

Edit:

Now I have a new one poping out ..

First points to this ..

GetVolumeInformation("C:\\", volume_name, 255, &serial_number, &max_component_length, &flags, file_system_name, 255);

Second points to this ...

URLDownloadToFile(NULL, guid, "whatever.txt", 0, NULL);

use this codes:

URLDownloadToFileA(NULL, guid, "whatever.txt", 0, NULL);
