Accessory Files/Required DLL Files

pagecnt.dll

The dynamic link library for the Page Counter component. This DLL comes with the IIS installation media but is not installed by default. You must register this DLL by hand before you can use it.

Hit Count Data File

The hit count data file contains the current hit count for every page for which the Page Counter object is being used. Microsoft suggests that you do not modify this file by hand. However, doing so does not adversely affect the page counter's functionality unless the format of the entries is changed. The name and location of this file is specified by the File Location value entry in the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MSWC.PageCounter. The default name for this page count file is hitcnt.cnt.

Note that the Page Counter object will save the current hit count for a page if the count rises above a certain number. This number is located in the Save_Count value (under the same registry key as the File_Location value). The default number for this setting is 25.
