    Some are, but some aren't (e.g. security functions). It's always best to test it on the platfrom though.

    To expand on what Megatron said -

    ExitWindowsEx will shut down any computer. But, if you do not use the api to set the correct privilege under NT or Win2K, it won't shutdown the computer. There is no priv setting needed for Win98 or ME.

    A few api's from Win95 and a lot from early NT will NOT work at all on the other platform family. Go into MSDN Library and look up the api you want. It will always tell you what platform restrictions there are.
