Install Updates and Shutdown

Hi all,

I have a VB.net program which captures a windows shutdown request,
cancels it, performs some final processing then re-posts the shutdown
request (it does this as the final processing we do can take long
enough for windows to think the app isn't responding to the shutdown
request). My problem is that if the user selected "Install Updates
and Shutdown", I need to be able to identify and re-post this request
to windows after performing my shutdown operations but I have been
unable to find any way of doing this as it doesn't seem to be an
option for the ExitWindowsEx API call.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

Jeff
