Hi Jeremy,
| One thing that did strike me when reading your mail was when you said | "application does not in itself require a GUI". When you hooked | WM_QUERYENDSESSION + WM_ENDSESSION, are you sure your application is | sitting on the event pump (Win32::GUI::Dialog) when windows shuts down? | If it's not, then you wont get the messages before it's too late... I'm pretty sure my code isn't at all what it's supposed to look like :-) If it's not too much trouble, could you send a working example with these variables and Win32::GUI::Dialog ? The simplest things can be hell to put together in the right order when it's done for the first time... Thanks!
