Feels odd though, abandoning that "startup" folder (I've got a few
things in it).

You don't have to. If you accept that the term "startup" alone in the Start
Menu refers to the user log-on (and thus keep Microsoft's inaccurate folder
naming), then logically the term "shutdown" alone would refer to the user
log-off. Then for the actual computer/system shutdown folders, use the
"system" or "computer" prefix.

Keep in mind though, the Logon scripts are run by USERINIT.EXE, while the
programs in the Start Menu's Startup folder are run by the desktop/shell
process (EXPLORER.EXE). So, if the shell happens to be replaced with e.g.
CMD.EXE or something else which is not aware of Start Menu's Startup folder,
the programs in the Start Menu's Startup folder won't be run.
