I feel like a compete idiot asking this, but does anyone know where I can find the Windows SDK? Is it somewhere on my PC, or bundled with some software I might have? (Like Visual Studio?) If it is online, can I download it from somewhere?

I have some questions that I would like answered about the Windows API, and the textbook I am using only glazes over them.

EDIT: I am stupid. I forgot to mention that it is the documentation that I am looking for, not the SDK itself, as I already have that.

You should have "MSDN library - VS edition" with VS.

No, actually, I am just trying to write a proper win32 app. There are some functions that I am just mystified with though. I suppose that I can just glaze over them and skip right to the guts of the program, but I would like to know what some of the Windows SDK functions do that maintain the window.

ammoQ, thanks for the tip. It doesn't help me in my case much, but it's about what I thought. My MSDN collection with my Visual Studio is corrupt, and I can't use it. Is it downloadable from anywhere?

Not really downloadable but you can read it online: msdn.microsoft.com
