Terminating Script Before Shutdown

[skipperpoop]

I'm trying to figure out how to terminate a script right before a user shuts down the computer. I've tried looking for the shutdown process so I could use If ProcessExists, but I never found it. I also thought maybe the shutdown window had a name, then I could use If WinExists, but I had no luck with that either. I'm not real knowledgeable when it comes to programming, so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

;~ Your code in here
While 1
        If ProcessExists("shutdown.exe") Then
            Exit
        EndIf
WEnd

Yea, I tried that one already . I think windows might use another process for its shutdown, while shutdown.exe is for manual shutdowns, shutdown shortcuts, etc.

I've posted a while ago on the same matter...You have to intercept a message that is sent to all processes...

Global $WM_QUERYENDSESSION=0x0011
Func InterceptShutdown($hWnd,$msg,$w,$l)
MsgBox(0,"","Shutting down")
EndFunc
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_QUERYENDSESSION,"InterceptShutdown")
while 1
wend
