My Problem:
    I'm using a book called VB 5 in 21 days, to learn the basics of VB5, my
OS is Win NT 4.0. However, when I come to the chapter on Api's, I'm supposed
to write a program that shuts down windows. I follow the book to the word,
but it doesn't work.

The point:
    Could somebody please tell me if Win NT has different Api's to say Win
95 or 98. If so, does anybody know of a good book that covers some of them.

Any help would be greatly Appreciated.

Dan Appleman is one of the authorities on the API.

On NT, you must have the correct security privilege to shutdown the system.
There are a number of KB articles on this topic.  Here are two.
