Try and go to the Tools menu, then select Options. In the Options dialog, select Projects, then VC++ directories. In the upper right there's a drop down list labeled "Show directories for". In the drop down list, select the "Include files" item. This shows you where VC++ looks for include files.
Do a search for windows.h in the "C:\Program Files\" directory and add the directory in which windows.h resides to the include list.

i used the same code :
Crepuscular
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include
to include directories, and
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib
to lib directories.
(Assuming that C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\ is the directory where you installed PSDK)
