Hi, i used in my program "Autorun Drive Doctor" dll file SST.dll for use TRAY icon in windows panel.
I am sorry for me wrong english, i am from czech republic.
Problem is in shutdown windows, if my program is run. System Windows XP/2000 can´t shutdown if ADD is run.
Windows 7 haven´t this problem.
I have a question, can game maker detect message from Windows XP/2000 in shutting down? Or writting Windows any value to registry key witch shutdown? Thank you

Depends one which version of Gamemaker your using.

Legacy versions 8 and below have registry function.

GameMaker Studio however is sandboxed and cannot modify the registry.

When Windows is about to shut down, it sends a WM_QueryEndSession to all open applications. There would not be a native way to catch this in GameMaker, you would need a script or app running the the background to catch it, and you can't stop it.
