The main reason that my application will crash is that there are six threads that will be accessing the shared memory.. but on different location thus does not need any memory locking devices. If I use UnMapFileViewing function, my application will crash as it will be awaiting responses from the shared memory.<br />

I dont know whats crashing your application but I had a threaded<br />
app that was leaking HBRUSHes ... &nbsp;It would leak over 5000 of <br />
them before the app would get flaky so I think you can safely<br />
access 5000 handles, at least on this box ;)<br />

I think NT provides either 8192 or 16384 handles. I'm not sure which.<br />

What is the maximum no of handles Wint NT can access. My applications which access shared memory had caused the number of handles and physical memory as shown on task manager to go up progressively. I did not use the UnMapFileViewing() as my application will crash. What could be the possible cause?

Limitations of no of Handles in Win NT

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
