Lie Ryan has already covered this pretty well, but I thought I'd re-state
for clarification:  pywin32 itself does not provide modules for ANYTHING.
pywin32 is just a convenience wrapper for functions that already exist in
the win32 library; without pywin it's a horrible task to call win32
functions from Python.

Since pywin doesn't provide the functions, it also doesn't provide
documentation.  For that, you go to the people who actually wrote the
functions: Microsoft.  In fact, it might make more sense to turn your
search around: look at MSDN _first_ to see what functions are available,
and then look at the pywin docs to see how to call them.
