int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]){
int __;
cout << "Hallo World" << endl;

Read the documentation please. It clearly states why your usage is incorrect especially with regard to the last two parameters. If you want to hook every thread you need to provide a module http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms644990(v=vs.85).aspx
