The CreateDesktop function creates a new desktop on the window station associated with the calling process. It returns a handle that can be used to access the new desktop. The calling process must have an associated window station, either assigned by the system at process creation time or set by SetProcessWindowStation. A desktop is a secure object contained within a window station object. A desktop has a logical display surface and contains windows, menus, and hooks.
