Comprehensive would be pretty difficult as there are thousands and 
thousands of Win32 functions.  You found some of them, and there are 
others on devzone and other third party sites.

Your best option is to look on MSDN.  Again, there are LOTS, and it 
helps to know what you are looking for or what to search for.

You will sometimes run into DLL calls which can't easily be called from 
LV because of the types used or other issues.  In these cases, it is 
useful to be able to build a wrapper function in C or other language.
