You can use the online msdn library,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee684009%28VS.85%29.aspx

Though I prefer running it locally, a fairly recent version is at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7BBE5EDA-5062-4EBB-83C7-D3C5FF92A373&displaylang=en

There's also the Platform SDK which limits itself much more to just
API reference material without the other stuff in the Library
download.  The PSDK is at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bb980924.aspx

Keeping an up to date psdk is a good idea regardless because it will
update the header files and import libraries for use in native
applications.
