If I press the power button on the computer, or if it is on accident and you are doing something really important, can a confirmation dialog appear and confirm if you really want to shut down? I mean like you have your program running, and while it is running (Form1_Running?):
If shutdown Activated Then
Dim Prompt As String
So on, So on...
Windows, etc should already do that! If you in the middle of writing a document, etc and the computer is restarted/shut down, the operating system should notify you of what is happening.
go into your power settings. there is an option on what to do if you press the power button. one of the options is to show the OS shutdown menu instead of simply powering off. Personally, i have mine set to go into hibernate.
Use a MsgBox,, using Yes.No
If msgbox.result = Yes then
........
End If
If it is this case, then It will prompt you to Save it.Quote:

I guess I should go with Option 1?
It does prompt you to save it! ;)Quote:

well that's interesting. Evidently they changed the OS since an older version. My wife's xp install prompts when you push the power button. I'm runnin 7 now and it doesnt have a prompt option. What kind of bs...
Ok everyone, I have successfully disabled my power button so It won't turn off when it is pressed! So now my PC won't shutdown when it as accidentally pressed, thank-you very much!:wave:
