Anything that can access the Windows API.

What *EXACTLY* are you trying to do? *Why* do you want to "use
URLDownloadToFile"?

UrlMon is using from URLDownloadToFile.

Where it is found Urlmon.h and lib?

That doesn't answer my question. *WHY* do you want URLDownloadToFile? What
are you trying to accomplish?

It'll be included with your compiler.

Bertram,

URLDownloadToFile is a *function in a DLL* (Dynamic Link Library),
accesible by quite a few different programming and even by a number of
scripting languages.

You can use a language like C++/VC++ to access it, but a .NET will allow you
to do so too. Just like Delphi (descendant of Pascal). VisualBasic can do
it too, just like (IIRC) VBScript.

The problem is that if-and-when you are asking if you should install VS C++
you have a *long* way to go before you will be able to actually use that
function. What I mean ? You would first need to learn the language you've
choosen. And that can take months if not years to master. Especially when
you have to do it on your own.

Maybe its easier/better for you to find a program like "wget" (which is
Linux, but is most likekly ported to Windows too), which can, from the
commandlike, start a download of HTTP and FTP content from websites to the
local disk.

Thanks

Do not worry about this, I have to write a program console to download the
foto.jpeg.

Wget I already use, but does not allow me to rename photos via the
clipboard.

But it *does* let you rename via command-line options:

F:\>wget --help
GNU Wget 1.11.4, a non-interactive network retriever.
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...
[...snip a bunch of options...]
-O, --output-document=FILE write documents to FILE.

Or you could write (for example) a batch file to handle the renaming for you.

There is no problem, but the question of opportunity.
