The Old New Win32API

This page provides a list of links to subset of posts of Raymond Chen's famous blog The Old New Thing. The subset is limited mainly to Win32API and some COM-related stuff.

The reason why I maintain this page is that it often provides information which is missing on MSDN or which is described there in a cryptic way, and also because the blog is not easily searchable.

The links here are categorized by their topic instead of a chronological order. Sometimes, when appropriate, a single post may be put into multiple categories.

In some (quite rare) cases, links to other sources are included if they are found useful.

Disclaimer: I am not claiming authorship of any linked contents. This is only about hopefully useful organization of the great articles Raymond has written over the years.
