Re: _fileinfo and _set_fileinfo in VS 2005

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



You can still set the fileinfo variable through _set_fileinfo
apparently this was done for security reasons (see link)

I agree that it says this. It's the same as the documentation included
with
VS 2005 itself. However, _set_fileinfo doesn't really exist. It's not
mentioned in any header file, and I get an unresolved external when I try
to
use it.

I just did a search in my VC8 folder for any file that contains the string '
_set_fileinfo'
No hits.

also, the MSDN docs say on another page that _get_fileinfo is still
supported.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ecthkkx5.aspx
but the documentation for that function says that that is gone as well
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tzwcfdtx.aspx

so I think the documentation for _set_fileinfo is wrong, and it is gone as
well.
is says that _get_fileinfo is no longer supported, but I think this is a
copy and paste error, and it should say '_set_fileinfo'.

If you want, you can use http://connect.microsoft.com/ for submitting
feedback so that the docs are updated.
