Yes.

No.

You are not initializing your variable to 0 beforehand.  If the lock fails,
your variable is potentially containing a random value from memory.  Also,
there really are some events that are that high in value to begin with (for
example, SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED is 0x08000000 aka 134,217,728).  You did specify
SHCNE_ALLEVENTS when calling SHChangeNotifyRegister(), afterall.
