Hmm... regarding that function, <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 13px">0x0600 would be enough. Sure. But Vista? Seriously? :-D</span><div class="mb_sig"></div>

<br>it seems that the function is supported as of 0x0600 (vista and server 2008)
<br>So it's not necessary to break compatibility with windows 7 yet, too many
<br>users still.
<br>Just use 0x0600 instead of 0x0602.
