I was wondering, if i wrote a program in visual foxpro, could i put the executable in win98 shutdown anywhere? its just a message box. I wrote a program that works for startup, im just wondering how i do it for shutdown?

No can do. You'd need a more powerful programming language like VB, C++ or Delphi.

Well, this is one way of doing it: Have your program run at startup but have it hidden. Then have it display your message during it's own shutdown, which will happen when Windows shuts down.
I don't really know - just a guess.

Put this command line in your program
C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown -s
shutdown is an .exe file (i.e. shutdown.exe), so when you add that command line, make sure to include the dot exe
