 Installed Debug Symbols - Now HOWTO configure VC?

In a valiant attempt at becomming a better developer, I have learned that it
is wise to build my apps with FULL debug symbols (Robbins, Joh. "Debuggin
Applications", pg. 30).  So I downloaded the Win2k Debug sysmbols and
installed them.  However, when I build my app(s), VC still says "no matching
symbolic information found" for all the system dlls.  I'm assuming VC just
needs to be configured to know where this symbolic information is, no?  Am I
on the right track, or am I all wet here?

Ben,

Each Windows SP has its own debug symbols that should be installed. Do you have the symbols corresponding to the service
pack you have installed?

SP1 Symbols:

SP 2 Symbols:

Okay, some progress. But how come not all symbols are loaded? For example.

There is symol information in WINNT\Symbols for these

Loaded 'C:\WINNT\system32\shlwapi.dll', no matching symbolic information
found.
Loaded 'C:\WINNT\system32\comctl32.dll', no matching symbolic information
found.

There is NOT symbol information in WINNT\Symbols for these, so I understand
why :)

Loaded 'C:\WINNT\system32\pdshell.dll', no matching symbolic information
found.
Loaded 'C:\WINNT\system32\pdtools.dll', no matching symbolic information
found.
Loaded 'C:\WINNT\system32\PDeskRes.dll', no matching symbolic information
found.
Loaded 'C:\Program Files\Logitech\MouseWare\system\LGMOUSHK.DLL', no
matching symbolic information found.
Loaded 'C:\Program Files\AIM95\idlemon.dll', no matching symbolic
information found.
