    stdafx.h

    It's a precompiled header file, right? I was working through a tutorial from this site (link below) and it turns out I don't have it...?

    Can I get it?

    Turn off the precompiled headers feature and just include the headers necessary.

    You typically create them. You don't "get" them anywhere.

    Outside of your DOS world, your header file is meaningless.
