Is there a simple way of having a customized message pop up just before shutdown? Is there is a place in the registry similar to "run" and "runOnce" where I can write the name of a quick app that will throw up a simple dialog to remind the user to perform an action. I realize that the focus of shutdown is on stopping threads not executing them. Sorry if this isn't the right forum, I couldn't think of a better one. Brian
What are you trying to achieve ? You can write a small program that handles WM_ENDSESSION/WM_QUERYENDSESSION messages and shows any dialog you will create -- Vladimir http://spaces.msn.com/vladimir-scherbina/ "Brian" wrote in message news:48B64F0B-1FE5-4760-9F4A-0B261C3A6CA7@microsoft.com... > Is there a simple way of having a customized message pop up just before > shutdown?
