Using std.c.windows.windows.

The translation there is hopelessly incomplete, or at least was last time I 
looked.  A much more comprehensive translation is here:

you can call any window api like this:
import std.c.windows.windows;	//for WinExec
import std.windows.charset;	//for toMBSz

void main()
{
	// bbs.yidabu.com 注toMBSz函数是为了生成null结尾字符串
	LPCSTR lpCmdLine = toMBSz(r"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
http://bbs.yidabu.com/forum-10-1.html");
	UINT uCmdShow = SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED;
	WinExec(lpCmdLine,uCmdShow);
}

// bbs.yidabu.com 下面就是定义要调用的windows api函数
extern (Windows)
{
	export {
		UINT WinExec(LPCSTR lpCmdLine,UINT uCmdShow);
	}
}

Where do you get that idea from?  Firstly, only a tiny subset of Windows API 
functions are in std.c.windows.windows.  Secondly, the functions in 
std.windows.charset aren't part of the Windows API at all.


 void main()

Oh dear.  It would appear that the web interface is no good at letting you 
use non-ASCII characters.  At the moment I can't figure out what character 
encoding that was _meant_ to be!
