I need some tutorial on ATL/WTL/STL to deep understanding, so please suggest me.

ATL, WTL and STL are unrelated to each other. They just heavily use templates. I would not invest too much into these outdated libraries.

If I use that compare argument as you suggested, Will I get the same result for all of the following ?

You probably should use _tcsicmp instead of stricmp, see: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k59z8dwe(VS.80).aspx[^]

Which compiler do you use?

I need to use std::map with std::basic_string(TCHAR) as key and long as value. std::basic_string How to achieve/implement case in-sensitive string lookup ?

You need to add a Compare argument:

map <basic_string<TCHAR>, long, ltstr> mymap;

Where lstr could be defined as:

struct ltstr
{
bool operator()(const basic_string<TCHAR>& s1, const basic_string<TCHAR>& s2) const
{
return stricmp (s1.c_str(), s2.c_str()) < 0;
}
};

std::string can have its reference counting turned off (or it may be by default in some implementations), which may increase its performance a bit.

Do you think the "break;" [C++] command is really needed at the end of every case statement? I've never been in a situation where I'd want the control to pass on to the next case after satisfying a particular case. You know I missed to put a "break;" and it resulted in a big chaos .

It's considered one of the 'wrong' defaults in C/C++.

whats the best way to get environmental variables like %windir% %userprofile% and so on?

Try GetEnvironmentVariable (VC++) or getenv (C++)

You expectations are very low!

But the way it used to be was that on Alt+Ctrl+Del, boom there it was. Thanks to the infailability of the keyboard driver (i'm assuming 98 had something like the tty driver is in unix), it would always catch the key sequence.

As former Win98SE victim I can tell that this is blatant nonsense!
