Hi David, Indeed it is helpful : For eg: User A pressed 'Restart' on the 'Shutdown Windows ' dialog. My application recieves WM_QUERYENDSESSION message and I return false (means I am temorarily delaying the shutdown) , but WM_QUERYENDSESSION never lets me differentiate between a 'Shutdown' & 'Restart'. Now, in this time after my application has completed its work it wants to continue with the operation that user chose then this registry value is one thing that lets me know whether the user tried 'Shutdown' or 'Restart', thus accordingly I can perform his desired operation :) . Regards Kushagra I hate coding but I luv to Develop :)

Have you verified that the registry is updated with the 'restart' flag even though no restart was performed?
