Default How to add a "Shutdown" folder (the opposite of the "startup" folder) ?

JJ,

Well, the term "Shutdown" is more appropriate for a computer shutdown
rather than a user log off. But if you never log on with different user
and
use multiple user sessions at the same time, it shouldn't matter.


Indeed on both. The name still irks me though. Luckily Jeff Barnett bumped
me enough to come up with a different name: winddown.

Though if you need to have multiple folders, one for computer shutdown,
and one for user log off, I'd suggest using "Shutdown" for computer
shutdown, and "Logoff" for user log off.


Absolutily.

I've been mulling that latter name too, but it simply did not match the
already existing "startup" name.

Damn, I just realised : the "startup" folder has got nothing to do with a
user. IOW, I might just go for the full monty, and create folders for both
the "logon" as well as the "logoff" events (and leave the "startup" folder
alone). Feels odd though, abandoning that "startup" folder (I've got a few
things in it).
