LPTSTR is a string, it's just not constant.
You can use it like a regular char * if as long as you don't define UNICODE in your application. The difference between a unicode and normal string is the length of the character. In unicode it is either 2 or 4 and in standard programs it is 1 byte.
As some people might point out, you're not the only one to ask this question. This is usually a topic of confusion for people learning to program in the Windows environment. See this for some clarification, from MSDN. I'd also recommend viewing their desktop API reference for a lot of useful information that may help you with future inquiries.
