    hello, I want to prevent user shutdown. I am catching the WM_QUERYENDSESSION message and returning a 1, which occording to the inline help should stop the shutdown process. It works on occassions but crashes on others, it seems to be completely inconsistent too...I know i am cathing the WM_QUERYENDSESSION so its not anything else... Is there something else I need to do??? Thanks in advance.

            You need to do a call to SendMessage with the WM_QUERYRIGHTFORUM message before you can do this. Ok, I bet you also didn't expect two sarcastic replies in a row :-D Perl combines all the worst aspects of C and Lisp: a billion different sublanguages in one monolithic executable. It combines the power of C with the readability of PostScript. -- Jamie Zawinski

                  Put a piece of duct tape over the power button. Remember, even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat.
