On Shutdown start any applications and scripts
The Windows operating system can without human intervention do certain procedures at windows startup. For this purpose, there are some mechanisms, including the "Startup" folder; shortcuts can be added by simple dragging and dropping. Alternatively, launch applications immediately previous to shutdown operating system is not easy.
Obviously, its possible using group policy script which starting its work when the windows shuts down, but such ability is not available for the owners of "Home" editions of the system, and it's edition is running on laptops, notebooks and netbooks by the manufacturers of these devices. Additionally, if linked via a group policy script will hang, your operating system will not shuts down never. What do you do? Pay for a "professional" edition of Windows and configure its group policies? But this is not the smartest and most affordable method.
The situation can be corrected by setting up the HSLAB Shutdown Folder utility on your machine. This is now the only solution for this problem, and it does exactly what you require.
The starter edition of this program is completely free, provides functionality analogous to the one that the "Startup" folder has. The difference is that these actions you will be executed not at startup, just prior to shutting down Windows. Realized to run programs, command files (*. bat, *. cmd, *. vbs and others that can be launch in the usual method) and the shortcuts located in the Shutdown Folder. If this folder is not empty and has several elements, the application intercepts the normal shutdown procedure, run executable files or scripts, and waits for them. If the execution of any reason exceeds the specified time period, then running the utility will be forcibly stopped. After this, a standard shutdown process will resume.
The software can be very helpful, indispensable tool if you require to organize a regular automated backups of significant files, drives cleaning, scan and restore and in fact any action at shutdown. This choice of time for several maintenance operations to be more suitable than the execution of the service utilities in the beginning of the system session when you are interested to start work as soon as possible. Optionally you can run your planned procedures not only at the shutdown time, but when the user logs out.
This software program is ideal for any Windows user or network administrator who wants to guarantee that users properly log off of the network and a number of needed operations are executed. Illustrations of these operations might be backup of important information, deletion of needless temporary files, synchronization of records with cellular systems, and many, many others. The utility is necessary in a corporate environment, providing, as it does the assurance of uniformity of logoff or shutdown of systems without user notice.
