Hi there;
does anyone know if its possible that when windows (in this case 2k) gets a shutdown command, to add extra steps in this process? IE as it kills the explorer shell and the like it calls a script of mine?
bascailly there is a program that needs to shutdown in a certain mannor, but we cannot control when a shutdown / logoff is initiated and so finding it difficult to close it properly with no user intervention.
Cheers

Have not messed with 2000 in a long time, and not really sure if this is your answer hiding in this mess.
Group policy shutdown script seems to be the way forward! Thanks Vortex
Your welcome, glad I didn’t waste your time reading all that. ~smlies~
Group policy is your friend
I use startup and shut down scripts to clear the C4rp generated by windows out pre-shutdown.
