Pre-Logoff script or properly shutting down an application at shutdown..

[Homer Simpson]

I need to know how to make a pre-logoff script for XP Pro. I have a
program that must be shut down properly by exiting the program before
shutdown/logoff....

Is this possible?

Here is a VBS script I found on the Net. The author is Marty Lindsay. This
example uses the process rsh.exe

-------

ProcessToKill = "rsh.exe"
Set WMI=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}").ExecQuery
("select * from Win32_Process")
For Each Process in WMI
If process.name = ProcessToKill Then
Process.terminate
End If
Next

Yes. Use the taskkill command :
TASKKILL.exe /im processname

Good Luck, Ayush.

I have no such command as 'taskkill.exe' (and I've never heard of it,
either). Or did you misspell it?

Taskkill is only available to XP Pro & Windows 2003. Are you using XP Home ?
