There is a nice web site we can use to format our code when posting online.

If an application wants to close all its child windows but not parent windows, the following code can help. In the parent window code:

It looks like the installation of visual studio 2013, windows SDK 7, and WinDDK 7.1 is very smooth on Windows 7 64-bit system. But when I tried this on a Windows 8, I met quite a few problems. First the right order has to be Visual Studio 2013 Express edition first, and then Windows DDK. The windows DDK might fail and if that happens, check the environment variables in system. Most likely it is because the permission for TEMP variable is not set right. I just change the security to allow anyone can access this temporary directory, and that seems to solve the problem. When installing SDK, there is some other error message, saying return error 5100, etc. According the information from here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Windows_SDK_versions, we need to de-select the documentation in Windows SDK page, and this seems to work too.
