The ChangeMenu function has been replaced by the following specialized functions, which are available on both Windows NT and Windows 95:
| Function | Description |
| AppendMenu | Appends a menu item to the end of a menu. |
| InsertMenu | Inserts a menu item into a menu. |
| ModifyMenu | Modifies a menu item in a menu. |
| RemoveMenu | Removes a menu item from a menu; if it is a pop-up item, the corresponding pop-up menu is not destroyed. |
Windows 95:
Instead of using AppendMenu, InsertMenu, and ModifyMenu, applications written exclusively for Window 95 should use the following new functions, which are available only on Windows 95.
| Function | Description |
| GetMenuItemInfo | Gets information about a menu item. |
| InsertMenuItem | Inserts a new menu item at the specified position in a menu bar or pop-up menu. |
| SetMenuItemInfo | Changes information about a menu item. |
Applications written for versions earlier than Windows 3.0 can continue to call ChangeMenu. Applications written for Windows versions 3.0 and later should call these new functions.
