is message queue will be per process or thread or System???

Per thread; but it's created on demand so not all threads will have one. Steve

Exactly what you want to know?

I believe private queues are machine based. public queues work only in what they call "Domain Mode" and are integrated with Active Directory so.... I don't know exactly what that means, but it sounds like they might be more Enterprise based rather than Machine based.

if it is per thread, then why we need handle in MSG structure???

I assume you're referring to the hwnd HWND in the struct. We need this because, regardless of any threading issues, we still need to know which window the message is for. From MSDN on GetMessage  "The GetMessage function retrieves a message from the calling thread's message queue." Steve
