Anybody know if they''re reference counted? I''d set up a whole multi-threaded app to test it, but I''d really rather not go to all that trouble if somebody else already knows. (Yes, I did a search already, and found nothing)

If you're referring to CreateEvent-made events, then yes, they are, as are all kernel objects.

Herm.. ok, maybe I wasn''t really clear.

What I want to know is, if I call ResetEvent() on an event X number of times, do I then have to call SetEvent X number of times to signal the event object?

No. Event states are not (AFAIK) reference counted.
