[wp-hackers] Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_insert_category() in ....

3 points.

1. Windows paths need to be written as F:\\inetpath\\ or F:/inetpath/ etc
2. Always include wp-load.php instead of wp-config or wp-blog-header
for stand along scripts
3. wp_insert_category() is an admin function, you must also load the
administrative functions by including wp-admin/admin.php
