reload apache config files

Question

On linux i can easily load new server configuration changes using apache2 reload. Is there a way to achieve the same on windows? I want to load new changes, without having to completely shutdown and restart the server.

The apache windows platform page http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/platform/windows.html#winsvc seems to say you can use:-

httpd.exe -k restart
