Asphyxiating yourself with a handkerchief is more fun, and has a far better chance of success. But obviously this is a personal preference.

i've been using them sucessfully in
C#, C++, and java. But i can't find any tutorials for using them in c.
Does any have any good examples or a link to a tutorial. the COMs i'm
interested in is the OLE and GDI+.


The usual approach is to hide all the COM rigmarole behind macros that happen to work both in C and C++, with the C versions doing a lot of pointer indirection through "lpVtbl". In any case, lots of macro magic is practically a necessity. Readable code is attainable; pretty code is not.

Try comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32 and/or microsoft.public.win32.programmer.ole.
