"Modifying Windows" discusses how to modify and extend Windows to create a new class of applications. The book provides the background knowledge required for advanced Windows development, including Dynamic Link Libraries, Toolhelp and the kernel debugger. It contains explanations of conventional modification techniques including modifications to the common dialogue boxes, using hooks and super/sup classing. Finally, potent modification techniques are introduced that provide programmers with the ultimate control over Windows behaviour by allowing developers to redefine the way Windows APIs work.
