dabus 0 Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) You may test this, I found that here, but never used it since you can set permissions via mmc. Opt("TrayIconHide", 1) $WM_QUERYENDSESSION = 0x0011 GUIRegisterMsg($WM_QUERYENDSESSION, "Cancel_Shutdown") GUICreate("PreventShutdownGUI") GUISetSTate(@SW_HIDE) Global $b_ShutdownInitiated = False While 1 If $b_ShutdownInitiated = True then ;Do stuff here ;do some more stuff here ;DoTheShutDownStuff();maybe do some more stuff here ;Shutdown();Maybe you want to shutdown the computer when done Exit;otherwise, you just exit this script EndIf sleep(10) WEnd Func Cancel_Shutdown($hWndGUI, $MsgID, $WParam, $LParam) ;~ run(@ScriptDir & "\killpgm.exe") $b_ShutdownInitiated = True Return False EndFunc As far as I remind, it just disables the shutdown-graphics, and since windows waits for them to appear, it wait as long as the script is running.

Valik 472 Posted March 20, 2007 Assuming that script actually works, there's really nothing wrong with it as it's just using the Windows API. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Somerset 1,971 Posted March 20, 2007 alrighty just on the side of caution...because on slow shutting down systems this can be used for not so nice behavior is all. Spoiler Madness is the first step to understanding... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dabus 0 Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) Hmm, I found it here, so I assume it wasn't that bad and will not be, but if the mods want to, I have no problem if they remove it.Here is the original if you want to delete both...http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=38292 Edited March 20, 2007 by dabus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valik 472 Posted March 20, 2007 It's actually not such a big deal. If you specify the "force" flag during shutdown, WM_QUERYENDSESSION and WM_ENDSESSION aren't even sent. I'm not sure what flags the shell uses when you invoke shut down that way, but at worst, a user might have to use "shutdown -f" to ensure a forced shutdown.
