1. Run on shutdown
I'm making a program which cleans various history lists in windows. I'm
trying to incorporate an option 'clean on shutdown' which will, provided
the program is in the system tray, automatically execute a certain
fuction on shutdown then the shutdown will continue.
Can anyone offer any advice on doing this?
Thanks
Peter

I suppose you could have the program stay memory resident, then when
it received the message that windows is shutting down it would do the
clean... Seems a bit of an inelegant way to do it though...

Hi Thomas,
That may be inelegant but it's a good suggestion, how is that done in
Euphoria though. I've seen programs like Windows Washer which sleep in the
system tray until shutdown, at which time it becomes active and cleans the
files you've selected, then windows continues shutdown.
Thanks
