iF YOU WANT A REAL FULL SCREEN MODE YOU MAY GET A DC ON NULL i.e the ENTIRE SCREEN
Yet U are not sure any other application will not interact.
If you want some tips U may :
Look for the screen savers samples.
Look for multidisplays API but only on W98 and not NT 4

/************************ FROM MSDN ***********************
HDC GetDC(
HWND hWnd // handle to a window
);

Parameters
hWnd
Handle to the window whose device context is to be retrieved. If this value is NULL, GetDC retrieves the device context for the entire screen.
