   windoze is NOT simple. In terms of easy programming it is the WORST.   
      
   I'm a low level programmer and know x86 instructions very well, but ASM   
   tools are all different therefore I've gone the pure metal hex-way.   
   And once (1999) I needed to learn about windoze in general because a   
   paying client asked for such.   
      
   similar to your problem I had no idea where to start and how to get info   
   about available M$-functions.   
      
   I found RosAsm (for 32bit windoze) and a lot of tutorials within it.   
   With some help of alt.asm and clax I figured the basics of it.   
      
   So after a few weeks I could sell my very first (also my last) win-app.   
   Not sure if the RosAsm forum is still active. just check on it.   
      
   Nasm is merely used by Loonix coders, Fasm(Fasmw) is fine for windoze.   
   Masm is M$-crap (you already figured that)   
   Masm32 is/was? an attempt to replace Masm.
