cancelling shut down from a console application

Hi,

I have a console program that handles events such as SHUTDOWN, LOGOFF.
I took the source code from

http://www.codeproject.com/win32/con...t_handling.asp

What I try to do after catching shutdown event is to be able to cancel
it.

Is there a windows function that cancels shut down, or is there any way
of doing it.

Thanks

Erdem

In windows CMD menu, it's "shutdown /a" -- No quotes..

/a means abort the shutdown process (if initiated by shutdown [/r] [/s]
[/t s] [/c])

Hope this helps.

This works, provided the shutdown process hasn't already been started.
If the system is already shutting down, any call like the above will
return an error along the lines of "The process failed to initialize
because the system is shutting down".

Yeah,

it does not work because, the shutdown process has been started when I
call the shutdown -a by using ShellExecute.

It gives an error with the code 0xC0000142,

Thanks
