Only attempt this if you are a good Windows c/c++ coder or you know a good
Windows c/c++ coder because you can seriouly impact the stability and security
of your domain.

Note I am serious about having a good c/c++ programmer. This is not trivial. If
someone says that it is, they really don't understand the criticality and impact
behind this functionality and I would be wary.
