Hi
I have a small .net Windows app that I need to run before the user logs off
the machine. This is a Windows App where a dialog is displayed to the user
and he/she needs to answer before the computer continues to logoff.
I currently have the application running as a logoff script. In other words
I use the Group Policy window to add the executable as a logoff script.
This works fine as long as the app is a console app. But if it's a windows
app that requires user input the logoff process hangs. It seems that windows
logs off before running the .exe and when it runs the .exe you can no longer
see the app window and windows hangs waitting for user input.
Any idea how I could run the app "before" the logoff happends?

You might be able to do it "backwards" .
I just read your post and what if you tried something like this: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/tutorials...ff-reboot.aspx
and actually lock out the "log off" till after they run your program. -
then you enable the logoff.
Just a thought
Im too much of a newbie in .net to help any more - sorry.

So why can't you have a solution that's a Windows solution, that has no
form, no user interactions and not an console application?
That type of solution can be called when the user logs off and it won't
hang.
Great idea Miro, I think this might work.

I need the user input. I need then to enter some information.

Only one problem, I can't figure out how to trap the logoff and lock it :(

Interesting idea ... but shutdown can be achieved through other means.
Like command line.
There should be a windows message that gets sent when the system is
shutting down that you can trap

Hi all,
I have created an ASP script that enters data into an Access Database.
My problem is that I'd like this script to run when the computer is shutdown
or the user logs off.
I think this would be simple enough if the ASP didn't have any user input,
but it does.

I have a Windows Service that should pop a windows form right before logoff,
for the user to enter some information.
I got things working fairly well except that the user does not get to see
the form before logoff. But I know that it run properly because when I log
back in the form is there and works fine.
So the form opened and run, but windows was already in the "logoff" screen
with no desktop showing, so I missed the form.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
