-* Dependency Walker.
-
-Dependency Walker is a free utility that scans any 32-bit or 64-bit Windows
-module (exe, dll, ocx, sys, etc.) and builds a hierarchical tree diagram of
-all dependent modules. For each module found, it lists all the functions that
-are exported by that module, and which of those functions are actually being
-called by other modules. Another view displays the minimum set of required
-files, along with detailed information about each file including a full path
-to the file, base address, version numbers, machine type, debug information,
-and more.

- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- Launches a program automatically when a particular user logs
- in. This key is used when you always want to launch a program
- when a particular user is using a system.
- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
- Launches a program the next time the user logs in and removes
- its value entry from the registry. This key is typically used
- by installation programs.
- HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- Launches a program automatically at system startup. This key
- is used when you always want to launch a program on a
- particular system.
- HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
- Launches a program the next time the system starts and removes
- its value entry from the registry. This key is typically used
- by installation programs.
- HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
- Launches a service (a standard NT service or a background
- process) automatically at startup. An example of a service is
- a Web server such as Microsoft Internet Information Server.
- HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce
- Launches a service (a standard NT service or a background
- process) the next time the system is started, then removes its
- value entry from the registry.
-
-Values to registry on Windows XP can be added by:
-
- cmd> reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v run.bat /t REG_SZ /d "path\to\run.bat"
- cmd> reg query HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run <-- see what done

-
-** OLE.
-
-OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) allows embedding and linking to documents and other objects.
-
-OLE 1.0 released in 1990, OLE 2.0 released in 1993, in 1994 OLE custom controls (OCXs) were
-introduced.
-
-OLE objects and containers are implemented on top of the Component Object Model.
-
-Next release after 2.0 introdused in 1996 and named as ActiveX.
-
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Linking_and_Embedding
-
-** ActiveX.
-
-Faced with the complexity of OLE 2.0 and with poor support for COM in MFC, Microsoft rationalized
-the specifications to make them simpler, and rebranded the technology as ActiveX in 1996.

-
-** ATL.
-
-The Active Template Library (ATL) is a set of template-based C++ classes developed by Microsoft,
-intended to simplify the programming of Component Object Model (COM) objects.
-
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Template_Library
-
-** MFC.
-
-MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) is a library that wraps portions of the Windows API in C++
-classes, including functionality that enables them to use a default application framework. Classes
-are defined for many of the handle-managed Windows objects and also for predefined windows and
-common controls.
-
-A lightweight alternative to MFC is the Windows Template Library (WTL).
-
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Foundation_Class_Library
- http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Foundation_Classes
-
-** WTL.
-
-WTL (Windows Template Library) is a free software, object-oriented C++ template library for Win32
-development.
-
-WTL provides support for implementing various user interface elements, to MDI, standard and common
-controls, common dialogs, property sheets and pages, GDI objects, and other common UI elements, such
-as scrollable windows, splitter windows, toolbars and command bars.
-
-Most of the WTL API is a mirror of the standard Win32 calls.

- fn | function
- h | handle
- i | int (integer)
- l | Long
- n | short int
- p | a pointer variable containing the address of a variable
- s | string

-
- Data type | Meaning
- ----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------
- FAR | Same as far. Identifies an address that originally used the
- | segment:offset addressing schema. Now FAR simply identifies a
- | (default) 32-bit address but may be omitted entirely in many cases.
- |
- PASCAL | Same as Pascal. The Pascal convention demanded by Windows
- | defines the order in which arguments are found in the stack when
- | passed as calling parameters.
- |
- WORD | Unsigned integer (16 bits)
- |
- UINT | Unsigned integer, same as WORD
- |
- DWORD | Double word, unsigned long int (32 bits)
- |
- LONG | Signed long integer (32 bits)
- |
- LPSTR | Long (far) pointer to character string
- |
- NEAR | Obsolete, previously identified an address value within a 16KB
- | memory block.
