Start script when you click shutdown button?

[Hawkwing]

Is there a way to start a script when I click Start\Shutdown?

[somdcomputerguy]

Maybe this is what you need?

; terminate a script right [i]before[/i] a user shuts
; VicTT
; DllCall("Kernel32", "ubyte", "SetProcessShutdownParameters", "dword", 0x400, "dword", 0x000)

Global $WM_QUERYENDSESSION = 0x0011
Func InterceptShutdown($hWnd, $msg, $w, $l)
    MsgBox(0, "", "Shutting down")
EndFunc  ;==>InterceptShutdown
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_QUERYENDSESSION, "InterceptShutdown")
While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Nope, that just makes a msgbox AFTER I have shutdown, which means it is too late to have the script really do anything. I was wandering if there was a way to have a script run when you click the button that brings up the gui asking you to shutdown (I guess the first post was kind of deceiving since I asked to start a script after you clicked shutdown).

Do you see this part?

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Put in the loop what you want to do. It will be executed before the actual shutdown of the system.

But if it takes too long won't the computer shutdown before its finished?

No
