[h=2]Background[/h] As you who are interested in Windows API hooking know, there is an excellent library for it by Microsoft Research named Detours. It's really useful, but its free edition (called 'Express') doesn't support the x64 environment. Though its commercial edition (called 'Professional') supports x64, it's too expensive for me to afford. It costs around US$10,000!

So I decided to write my own library or "poorman's Detours" from scratch. But I haven't designed my library as the perfect clone of Detours. It has just the API hooking functionality because that's all I want.

As of June 2014, this library is used in some projects: 7+ Taskbar Tweaker, NonVisual Desktop Access, QTTabBar, x360ce and more. I am happy finding that this project is helpful to people.
