In general terms, a handle is an opaque value used to identify an object. In and of itself, it doesn't do anything, and can't be used to access the object directly. You pass it to one or more functions that perform operations on the object.

A pointer is essentially an address of a piece of memory. In C and C++, a pointer is associated with a type, which lets you treat the pointer as an indirect reference to an object of that type.

Handles may be implemented using pointers; in fact, many handle types in Windows probably are pointers, down underneath. There are also a large number of handles that are not pointers, however. Using a handle as a pointer Is Not A Good Thing because you are relying on an implementation detail that may or may not work in future versions.
