Remember in the good old days of DOS where we could intercept calls to the
operating system by changing a vector in the interrupt vector table?

Well, how can I do the equivalent in Windows?  I would like to write an
experimental program that would simply count the number of times a
particular Windows procedure was called.  If I could intercept these
calls, I could maintain a counter and then proceed to call the real
Windows procedure after I update my counter.

Any ideas?

Also, what about intercepting Windows messages?  I believe the program
POSTMAN does this.  Any ideas on that?
