    Well ...

    Under windows, search for any files with the word API in them. There are (I guess) 3 text files which contain the declarations of the various Windows API which programmers can use. Win32API is one of them.

    Or if you have API Viewer installed (which is part of VB/VS tools) you can start it and then load an API file and have a look at the APIs.

    .
