Display reminder when click on shutdown?

gladson1976, that one didn't work, it hangs at the shutdown screen, no script showed up.

Bump! I want this too. I think (it's just a guess and I could be wrong) it's not showing up because it's opening up in the background. Like when you set up a scheduled task to be "Run whether user is logged on or not" it still runs and you can see it in task manager but it doesn't show up on the screen. What could be done in that case?

I think this script I made should be fine. It will display a popup with a Yes and a No button. When you click the Yes, the shutdown is cancelled. Click No and the system will proceed.

Code:

<job id="vbs">
    <script language="VBScript">
        Set WshShell=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
        On Error Resume Next
        menuSel=MsgBox("Have you completed your timesheet ?" & vbCrLf & "Have you sent in the Invoice?" & vbCrLf & "Have you forgotten anything at all?" & vbCrLf & "Think hard!", vbYesNo)
        If menuSel=vbYes Then
            WshShell.Run "Shutdown -a"
        End If
    </script>
</job>

Can you make this script such that instead of prompting it checks for file contents of a specified file on the desktop instead? If the file is empty then proceed with the shutdown otherwise not. Because I think the script does run but any interface isn't displayed to the user. Which explains why

The content-checking might work! But I don't know how to write such scripts myself...

Hi Can any one say how to display pop up window if we click the shytdown button
and allows the user to cancel or proceed the shutdown
