Dose the Visual C++ Express Edition Compiler come with the OpenGL libraries and handles that the Visual C++ 6.0 compiler has?

So what I just install platform sdk, and how do I link to the GL libraries I want with Visual C++ Express? Sorry I find their linkers very complicated.

well all you need is to setup include and linbrary directories
then you #include <GL/gl.h> as well as #pragma comment(lib,"opengl32.lib") -------------------- |

Ok so I don't need to go under the project settings to link to libraries like you have to with compilers such as Visual C++ 6.0?
