Disable "Ending Program" in windows XP?

[mike2]

Hi.Is there a way to disable the "Ending Program" screen when Windows XP shuts down?I want to do this because I want to make a program in VB that will copy some files into my LAN computer when it unloads.
So because windows will see that it "doesnt want" to end windows will wait a little and then close the program...
But actually i havent tried it testing this so Im not sure if this Ending Program screen would appear but im guessing...

If it can't close the program, the prompt just stays on the screen, you can do something to the form_unload to prevent it from doing this and then allow it when it's finished.

Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
 
    Select Case UnloadMode
        Case vbFormControlMenu
            strMess = "The user chose the Close command (the "X") from the Control menu on the form."
        Case vbFormCode
            strMess = "The Unload statement is invoked from code."
        Case vbAppWindows
            strMess = "The current Microsoft Windows operating environment session is ending."
        Case vbAppTaskManager
            strMess = "The Microsoft Windows Task Manager is closing the application."
        Case vbFormMDIForm
            strMess = "An MDI child form is closing because the MDI form is closing."
        Case vbFormOwner
            strMess = "A form is closing because its owner is closing."
    End Select
 
End Sub

That's it, very nicely done Martin.

Case vbFormControlMenu
            strMess = "The user chose the Close command (the "X") from the Control menu on the form."

Should be :

Case vbFormControlMenu
            strMess = "The user chose the Close command (the [b]""X""[/b]) from the Control menu on the form."

otherwise there is an error
