If I were to write a program in C and run it in Windows, is there something in the Win API that dictates whether or not a certain block of memory can be accessed by the program? If I want to be able to have the program access any block of memory that I want, is there something I have to disable? I realize that this is risky and can result in damaging the operating system.
In modern Windows (Windows with NT Kernel) the operating systems controls the way memory is accessed. So, the answer is: NO. There is nothing you can do about it. You won’t be able to get your process to access ANY block of memory you want.
You could have done it in Win 3.0, Win 3.11, Win 95, Win 98, Win ME.
