SetThreadDesktop
The 
SetThreadDesktop function assigns a desktop to the calling thread. All subsequent operations
on the desktop use the access rights granted to 
hDesktop.
BOOL SetThreadDesktop(
| HDESK hDesktop 
 | // handle of the desktop to assign to this thread 
 | 
| ); 
 | 
 | 
 
Parameters
hDesktop
Identifies the desktop to be assigned to the calling thread. This handle is
returned by the 
CreateDesktop, 
GetThreadDesktop, and 
OpenDesktop functions.
This function will fail if the calling thread has any windows or hooks on its
current desktop (unless 
hDesktop is a handle to the current desktop).
 
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call 
GetLastError.
