As far as I can see the exit hooks for Emacs are not run when a user

I'm not sure they can be run reliably. The system gives Emacs (or any
other application) a short amount of time to exit cleanly before
issuing the equivalent of a kill -9. Since such hooks often involve
user interaction, there is no guarantee that we will finish in time,
so the safest thing to do is to just make sure all autosave files are
written before exiting so that the user can recover their session later.
Are you sure of that? For me there is dialog box displayed by Windows
2000 that I can use to end the application or wait until it has
finished. Is that not the case for you?
