fork/chroot equivalent for Windows server application

Question

I have written a small custom web server application in C running on Linux. When the application receives a request it calls fork() and handles the request in a separate pro

Answer 1

There's no such thing as fork() on Windows. You need to call CreateProcess() - this will start a separate process (mostly equivalent to calling fork() and then immediately exec() for the spawned process) and pass the parameters to it somehow. Since you seem to have all the data to process in a dedicated directory you can make use of lpCurrentDirectory parameter of CreateProcess() - just pass the directory path you previously used with chroot() there.
