I must have mis-read the question..  I was thinking he was asking about using
the examples as kind of a guideline to this does that, etc (writing his own
microsoft free code).  Of course it is illegal to directly copy code from the
MSDN or make any sort of derivative of that code, as the code is owned by MS,
just like the code for say shell32.dll is.  By the way, the sentence just
before this one was basically said (albeit in a different way) in my original reply..
