I got a couple of questions which have absolutly nothing in common:

1) How can a create a fullscreen window without MFC or Directx?
2) How to use the soundblaster? i tried the normal wave functions but auxGetNumDevs () returns 0, and I am quite sure that I got a soundblaster!!(joke)
3) How can I send an email from the program? which port and ip or is it another protocol?
4) Is there any way to write to the screen faster than using BitBlt () and without Directx.
5) How can I get the data saved inside the place where ctrl+c saves something...
6) Is there any way to send keystrokes and mouse events to a program if it uses BlockInput ().
7) How to make a hook to sockets, I mean, how to spy on packets passing from/to my computer on a port number?
8) where are all the VK_OEM_<number> defined? no .H files got them!

If you know to answer any one of the questions please help me.
Thanks!!

Do you mean the windows clipboard? <assuming this is Windows.>

> 1) How can a create a fullscreen window without MFC or Directx?

You can probably do it with both to be honest, but DirectX was designed for that task and many other tasks that are used with full screen applications, so lets go with that one for now.

Look into DirectX... More specifically DirectShow, DirectSound and DirectMusic

> 3) How can I send an email from the program? which port and ip or is it another protocol?

Using the SMTP protocol, feel free to google for SMTP RFC protocol and you will probably find the information you are looking for. You will beimplementing an outgoing SMTP engine I would assume. Remember that the full protocol also handles incoming mail.

> 4) Is there any way to write to the screen faster than using BitBlt () and without Directx.

Without DirectX!?! Not likely.. reason 1 is that you will need to work with the Windows GDI, which is just slow to begin with, and Windows and DirectX have had a lot of time to perfect their many functions, including BitBlt... there is no chance you are going to beat them anytime soon.

> 5) How can I get the data saved inside the place where ctrl+c saves something...

Eh? Check your clipboard?

> 6) Is there any way to send keystrokes and mouse events to a program if it uses BlockInput ().

This is a good question, my answer is likely yes UNLESS you are using directx than it is no. The reason being that you can always hook hardware devices when not using DirectX, or send windows messages... youwill need to look into this to be sure though.

> 7) How to make a hook to sockets, I mean, how to spy on packets passing from/to my computer on a port number?

This one I do not know, I would probably say to proxy the winsock.dll file, but there may be an easier way. You will likely need to hook or install some extension to the TCP stack to do this one.
