Comments:

Call this function before calling GetPhysicalMonitorsFromHMONITOR.

This is a really long name for API function. The whole group of the Monitor Configuration functions sports very long, supposedly extra meaningful, function names.

This one I like especially -- GetNumberOfPhysicalMonitorsFromIDirect3DDevice9 -- though I might need to add changes to the PHP code on my site to accomodate names like this.

This must be a new Microsoft trend in naming functions. Otherwise we would have already enjoyed API functions like DownloadAFileFromFTPServerConnected instead of boringly undescriptive FtpGetFile. I must be raving.
