Most Viewed in January 2010

No pages at an obscure technical site are ever really hot, but many nowadays attract more than 100 views per month. There are well over 1,500 pages at this site. Most are very detailed descriptions of functionality in Windows. They are the sort of thing that may be the key to some advanced programmer being able to complete his work but which is beyond arcane to everyone else. I am astonished that any of these pages get looked at even once a day.

This site had 26,358 visits in January 2010, from 20,006 unique visitors.

There follows a list of pages that were each viewed at least 100 times in January 2010. The faded titles are just index pages which I presume are viewed only or mainly on the way to others, especially while moving from one Table of Contents to another. Two of these index pages are just the skimpiest of placeholders, pending my writing an introduction. The rank in brackets is from the previous month.
