intercept shutdown in windows using vbscript

Question

I want to write a vbscript that will wait for windows shutdown and intercept to carry out proper action before shutting down. I want this to be in vbscript since am using it for administration.

Answer 1

Much easier than that, ever since Windows 2000 you can use the Group Policy setting (or Local Policy even if you're not in a domain) to set the Shutdown Script which will be called, as the name implies, when someone is trying to shutdown the computer. For more info, check out MSKB #198642.
