Windows 7: Display a Reminder/Message Box on Win 7 Shutdown

I'd like to display a simple reminder or message box when shutting down Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit).
I found a post that explains how to add a script at shutdown, and clicked on Start > Run, typed mmc, clicked OK, and in the console, clicked File > Add/Remove Snap-in. However, the Group Policy Editor is not listed as an available snap-in.
I then found this post
Local Group Policy Editor - Open
but it states, "You will not have the Local Group Policy Editor available in the Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, and Home Premium editions."

Any other ideas on how to display a reminder when shutting down?



Thanks in advance,

It's possible you could set a task that would prompt at shutdown.
I'm not exactly a specialist with tasks though.
I know you can set tasks to execute at launch so it should be no real problem to have one effect when shutdown is requested.
I simply don't know the trigger for it.

You could also create a batch file for shutting down.
I suppose I could be a bit more specific if I knew the exact criteria here. Exactly what do you want this box to say when shutting down?

This freeware will do it. It works on Windows 7;

Thanks for the replies.
Maguscreed, the reason for the prompt is that my wife has purchased a new laptop with an optical mouse, and leaving the mouse on will probably shorten the battery life. Given that she'll be using it infrequently, I thought a reminder on shutdown would be a good idea.
Mike, the Beyond Logic Shutdown ran, but did not seem to provide any scope for modification.

You have to add the text you want;
