Detecting Windows Shutdown?

How can I detect that Windows (Win2K in this case) is about to shutdown?

Thanks!

The screen says "Windows is now shutting down"!
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Intercept "WM_QUERYENDSESSION".
(AFAIK it should work under 2K too).

Wrong.
"is now shutting down" is not equivalent to "is about to shutdown".

LOL!

How about in code, IOW does Windows post a WM_ message that I can catch
before it shuts down?

WM_QUERYENDSESSION, WM_ENDSESSION or none.

You'll find some explanations in Win32 help, at ExitWindowsEx().
