Bob:

Std is "Standard" (I guess). AFX (Application Framework, I think) was
the original name of the MFC project (when it was a grander concept than
just a thin OO wrapper on the Windows API).

(You should ask questions about MFC in the MFC group; this group is
primarily for managed code.)

The group David is referring you to for MFC questions:

microsoft.public.vc.mfc

For generic unmanaged code questions:

microsoft.public.vc.language

Actually there are several groups in microsoft.public.vc.*
