You need to subclass the shell in order to do it using a message hook inside a dll. From there you watch for the windows menu message (and also the start key press) and show your own menu instead. Annoyingly, trapping close requests is a lot more difficult than trapping the open request.
Look up SetWindowsHookEx in the help, that should get you started.
