I have two questions on Visual Studio Express 2004:
1) how can I remove (clear all) bookmarks? I have made bookmarsk when I search for a word and they stayed there when I reopened solution
2) I have some problem with precompiled headers, when I try to use Use precompiled headers so the headers cannot be found. However the project works with Create headers options. So one project normally lasts 10-15 minutes to compile, but with stdfxh it looks it can compile in 20 seconds. However the thing with use Create pch is not clear to me...

Create (/Yc) option makes a lot of errors:

Here are all the errors:

I don't know about bookmarks, but regarding precompiled headers, did you see this page? It looks like the second answer is different from the first (with /Yu) and voted higher, so try that too.

Look in the VIEW menu for bookmarks. From there you should be able to select bookmarks to delete. You may have to use the right mouse button on a selection

I used the /Yu (its described "Use") and that makes the error. Now I am trying to solve one problem so I will look on the precompiled headers later.

I have one suggestion- upgrade your IDE! VS2004 is old. Is there a particular reason why you are on such an outdated IDE and compiler?

Why should I need update? When I was going to start to learn they told me to download VS 2004 Express because it's free. It looks that it is enough.

Visual studio 2013 express is also free


If anything you should upgrade for the better C++11 compliance. I wouldn't even touch VS2008 at this point if I had the choice. There are a ton of bug fixes and compiler improvements.
