Use the regular system API's as you would in C. Should be easy
to find if you search the web.
They are the regular system APIs. They change depending on which
version of windows you are on
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms738558(v=vs.85).aspx).
Again, how do I determine which version of windows I am on? My
code will default to using the new API (because it is the most
efficient), but then will fall back to using the old API if it
can detect that the current version of Windows does not support
the new API.
