1. Please don't add new solutions when you comment on another's solution. Use the blue 'Add Comment' link at the lower right corner of the solution instead. Similarly, if you want to respond to a comment, use the 'Reply' link at the upper right corner of the comment.

2. Have you #included the right header? You'll need Windows.h or WinBase.h (which is included by the latter).
