It's nearly perfect! Why nearly? Becasue of the eror message when the user try to shutdown it's PC... I try tu use this tool to prevent the user to sutdown it's PC while a backup is running. But the user don't understand the mesage for 2 reasons: 1) I am in a french speaking country. Yes yes, countries exists, where peoples don't speak English... 2) The message don't have anything to do about a backup procedure. Would it be possible to add the possibility to write a message in a TXT file? By example, if "Shutdown monitor" find a "SDMsg.txt" file, then it use the message in this file instead of it's own message? Like that it would even be possible to put the tel N° of the tech support in the msg, by example. I am sorry, it have been year I haven't programmed, and when I tryed to install OpenWatcom and compile "Shutdoen Monitor", then the executable didn't reacted as I wanted... I gave up... Thank you for your help, V. This program is a nice small tool! It’s nearly perfect!

Why nearly? Becasue of the eror message when the user try to shutdown it’s PC…
I try tu use this tool to prevent the user to sutdown it’s PC while a backup is running. But the user don’t understand the mesage for 2 reasons:
1) I am in a french speaking country. Yes yes, countries exists, where peoples don’t speak English…
2) The message don’t have anything to do about a backup procedure.
