If you know some better way of coding ill change it. Please any info about how to save characters in FILES is welcome.

If you want to have a keylogger there are many good free ones out there.

As for your ghost key logger program, frequency of 33 checks a second it wont be so unnoticeable (using Sleep function is rarely a good idea), especially since you open and close the file every time you go trough the while loop. Not to mention that you declared your file pointer twice...

Besides that, your program will miss keystrokes. I recommend you to inject your own DLL in all programs using SetWindowsHookEx .

Oh come on. If im gonna use the hook style i have to do all again.
Thats not the problem. but remeber this part going inside the full program. I cant change all again. Its gonna take a lot of time.

Must be another way.
