anuradha,

Originally you use the GetModuleHandle() API to get the actual instance handle for the main application that is running. On an EXE file it is at address 400000h but on a DLL it can be over a wide address range due to DLLs being able to be relocated. Some API calls still require an instance handle so they can find things like resources within an EXE file.
