Try looking through the microsoft.* heirarchy.

Not a clue, something with "programming" and "windows" in the title is
probably a good bet tho' ;)
>What exactly is Win32 and MFC?
Win32 is 32 bit windows, ie '95 and '98 where as win16 is 16 bit which
is windows 3.1.
MFC is Micro$oft Foundation Classes, these are a library of classes that
make working with the windows API easier.

What does API stand for?
