how hardcoding is done in windows xp?

Answer 1

In computer terms, something is "hard coded" if it uses a value that can't be modified or changed. For example, if you use a program that always links to a specific web site, it's "hard coded" to use that web site. If, on the other hand, it looks up which web site to use in a configuration file, then it's not hard coded.

In Windows XP, for example, icons are either 16x16 pixels, 32x32 pixels, or 48x48 pixels. These three options are hard coded. You can't create icons of any other size.

Answer 2

The way that I see this Source Code stuff is that it is decompiled script.In other words---I have a program like Paint Shop Pro.I start the script recorder and continue on with my work.I stop recording when I'm done.The "script" of my mouse movements is recorded in a script file.This script can be played back at any time.It is an exact recording of the mouse moves that I have made.If you were to look at this script file in a script reader program or a decompiler it would appear very complex.The script of the mouse moves.I'm not seeing this code as a method of software writing.
