Again, you can research: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_Manager

Seems to be the older version of explorer.exe, included for backwards compatibility with older applications.

In Acient Dragon's case the program should return 3; because he had 3 windows in the taskbar. If you do plan to do this then there are limitations to the way your going to have to, your not aloud to use the first 2 functions that null_ptr0 listed.

Now you might see how I am stuck...

Optional questions
------------------------
1) What is the variable type "size_t" that was used by Ancient Dragon(he could have used int)?

Thanks.

I think that the size_t is to reset to "0" but I am not positive.

A word about that size_t I used -- I have gotton into a habbit of using size_t where negative values don't make sense, such as the length of a string or a loop counter that runs from 0 upward. In Microsoft VC++ 2005/2008 some C functions return size_t instead of int
