What's up with the windows headers?

[Jack via Digitalmars-d]

1. that would be nice

2.
everything compiles now, but the linker shows:

Building Debug\ConsoleApp1.exe...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'netapi.lib'

i checked the paths and sc.ini. the linker should find it.
i installed VS12, D and the new visual d. does anybody have the 
same problem?


to walter - i will/would
