One good pointer the tutorials use LCC Win and it works with using Pelles C as well.

The VISTA OS has been removed from any kind of support, nobody cried ;), last month and the help system is no more actively supported from long time ago.
Anyway with some help from google:

Nice!
thanks!
You may know windows 10 no longer supports .hlp files with the OS. However there are many useful .hlp files. Before tackling a reader or converter a web search turned up a solution. I've tested on several Win10 systems and it works very well. All of my .hlp files display as they did previously. Here is the link:

As always be sure you scan the file with antivirus software, all I can attest to is when I downloaded it was fine.

QuoteThe Old New Win32API
This page provides a list of links to subset of posts of Raymond Chen's famous blog The Old New Thing. The subset is limited mainly to Win32API and some COM-related stuff.
The reason why I maintain this page is that it often provides information which is missing on MSDN or which is described there in a cryptic way, and also because the blog is not easily searchable.
The links here are categorized by their topic instead of a chronological order. Sometimes, when appropriate, a single post may be put into multiple categories.
In some (quite rare) cases, links to other sources are included if they are found useful.
Disclaimer: I am not claiming authorship of any linked contents. This is only about hopefully useful organization of the great articles Raymond has written over the years.
