When I want to run a program (.exe \ .bat) before Windows 7 Home Premium Logoff \ Restart I use the Task Scheduler and I set a custom event: Log: System, Source: Winlogon, Event ID: 7002 \ 4634 \ 4647 \ .....

The problem is that the program starts but the system closes before the program finishes, while it's running.

What can I do? (My O.S doesn't have gpedit.msc unfortunately)

    Perhaps give this a try (not sure if it'll work): Add shutdown /a to the start of the script (to abort the current shutdown), and then add shutdown -s -t 00 to the end of it to initiate a new shutdown sequence when it's done. You may have to make a couple scripts or something to deal with reboot vs. shutdown vs. hibernation, etc. Are you on an Active Directory domain by any chance? Dec 22, 2014 at 19:47

    It doesn't work. The system closes anyway. It doesn't abort the shutdown. The help says "/A can only be used during the time-out period" Dec 22, 2014 at 20:44
  • What edition of Windows is this? Pro, something else? Dec 22, 2014 at 20:48
  • Windows 7 Home Premium (no gpedit.msc unfortunately) Dec 22, 2014 at 21:27
  • Could you have a shortcut to run this item , then use a shutdown command after, instead of fighting a closing down system to run a program then? Just have an assortment of shutdown batches? I use that method from toolbars (like docks)
