Error messages aplenty!!!!!

i am using visual studios 8 and have added the Platform sdk include and library files to visual studios. and i am when i debug my programs i get the following errors. (the program is just a simple shell program)
the code for it is as follows:

// include files
#include <windows.h>

im sure it probably has something to do with depreciated files and changing my declares but im having a major problem with this, and it used to work before i installed the platform SDK, this is really bugging me can anyone make any suggestions

I just compiled and linked your program without any error messages after adding pragma to remove warning C4996. So your problem must be that you did not set up the paths to the SDK correctly.

recheck the tools to see that you added the path to the platform sdk libraries correctly and that it is the first path in the list. If you left the path at the bottom of the list them use the arrow button to move it up to the top. Below is how mine is set up
