Instead of resetting the time, you could use Start Time - End Time = Total Time (this could be used for the laps too)

Have you learnt how to read and write to a file?

What you've have to do is just make a file called highscores.txt with name/score pairs that'll look like this:

Morice 357
Martin 300
Tony -16
...

Note that it'll be easy for someone to just edit the txt file with notepad, but don't worry about that for now.
