Bryan, I don't think it is possible to tell a service to hang when shutting down, but it would be easy to do in VB.NET through your own Windows Service.
In fact so easy I wrote a simple windows service for you if interested: http://www.arizonaitpro.com/downloads/windowsservice_testhang_setup.msi The MSI package installs the service and: * Requires administrator access to install * is started and stopped manually through the services.msc applet * on service 'stop' it will hang for 30 seconds through a sleep on the current thread * will log start and stop events in the Application log * can be uninstalled from add/remove programs I have tested it on three machines, but use at your own risk, yada yada yada.
