The table below lists all the functions that are first exported from ADVAPI32 by name in version 4.0, i.e., for the original Windows 95 and for Windows NT 4.0.
Version 4.0 is complicated by its use for two operating systems. The Windows that runs on DOS came first and is referred to below as Windows. The Windows that survives today began as Windows NT and is referred to below as NT even though it has long superseded the other Windows. Most functions that were added for version 4.0 were for the NT stream only. A handful carried into the Windows stream for version 4.70. Most are at least exported from version 4.80. I have not checked whether any ever were documented as exports from Windows 98 or Windows Me, let alone whether any were implemented non-trivially in those Windows releases.
