Help with SDK?

I'm trying to use NT security to permit/deny access to certain menu options. This would avoid using the password toolbox library, and,I think, look more professional.

However the windows SDK is more than a little impenetrable. Although it gives a full description of every function, it leaves no clue as to what order to do simple tasks ['is this user a member of the Power Users group' is not a difficult question] and assumes detailed knowledge of Windows' innards. You could drown in an ocean of SID's and access tokens before you had the first glimmer of an overall view of the system. Can anyone reccommend some more informative resources?

I had the same troubles trying to use the SDK audio functions. The SDK are not a NI product, so it is difficult to find answers here. I suggest to follow my way, which actually gave good results. The resource is:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?URL=/library/devprods/vs6/visualc/vcedit/vcstartpage.htm

i.e. the Microsoft Developer zone. There you can find examples on the SDK (unfortunately in C++ and rather difficult to understand) and ask for specific support. A MSN expert contacted me by e-mail in one day and definitely solved my problem sending attached C source code examples.
Hope this helps,
best regards,
Marco
