Googling 'shutdown confirmation windows 7' gives quite
a few hits. One of the easiest ways to create a dialog
box on shutdown is to enable the Shutdown Event Tracker.
If your version of Win7 supports the group policy editor:
Start menu > In the Search box enter 'gpedit.msc'
Double click gpedit.msc to run it and go to:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System.
Select 'System' on the left and on the right find:
Display Shutdown Event Tracker.
Double-click to open it and select Enabled.
Now when you shutdown there will be a dialog box opened and to
activate the OK button select a drop-down item.
If you haven't got the Group Policy Editor you can get the same
result by editing the registry.
Copy the following reg file into a blank text document and save it as Shutdown.reg
Right-click Shutdown.reg and select 'Merge'.
(If you have 32 bit Win7 then delete the second part of this reg file.)
(If you have 64 bit Win7 then you need both parts.)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Reliability]
"ShutdownReasonOn"=dword:00000001
"ShutdownReasonUI"=dword:00000001
;This section needed for 64 bit Win7
