THANK YOU 
---------
Thank you for trying Shutdown Monitor!  Shutdown Monitor is a 
powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use add-on for Windows 95/NT 4.0.
It allows you to selectively automate running programs, batch files, 
command lines, etc. when Windows 95/NT 4.0 is shutting down.  

FEATURES
--------
Shutdown Monitor will create a 'Shutdown' directory on your start 
menu.  When Windows 95 shuts down you can:
*   Select Shutdown Monitor to automatically run any programs 
    (shortcuts) located in the shutdown directory.
*   Have Shutdown Monitor query you at shut down and select which 
    programs you would like to run
*   Select not to run any programs
*   Cancel Windows shutdown

STORED COMMANDS
*   You can also selectively execute stored commands and command lines 
    at shut down.  Anything that you can Run from the Start>Run menu, 
    you can execute from Shutdown Monitor, including DOS commands.

Shutdown Monitor is "User Profile" aware.  Each user will have their 
own Shutdown directory and commands list to execute.

You can also use the built-in Windows Shutdown program to automate and
execute time-consuming shutdown procedures.

The author says:
   "I'm a programmer.  I wanted a way to automate backing up my essential
files and libraries.  I had a terrible habit of forgetting to back up my
files until after I had already shut my system down.  I tried using the 
Startup folder, but that meant 1) I did my automatic backup BEFORE I made
any changes and 2) My backup ran every time I rebooted (which was pretty
often).  I knew that there were other utilities around that automatically
ran programs at shut down, but I didn't want to run these programs and
batch files every time I rebooted.  So Shutdown Monitor was born.  I'm
happy with the way it turned out.  It really is a headache saver."

Try it!  I think you'll like it.

VERSION INFO
============
Version 1.1.0 - Added the ability to automatically cancel the Windows
	shutdown.  Useful if the programs/commands you were executing
	took too long and Windows shutdown was timing out.  If 
	AutoCancel Windows Shutdown was selected, then Shutdown Monitor
	will present the user with it's own Windows Shut Down
	selection window.

	Added WinNT 4.0 support.

Version 1.2.0 - Fixed a bug that prevented certain types of shortcuts
	from being executed properly.  

	Added a module that you can perform the 'Windows Shut Down'
	from.  The advantage to using the Windows Shut Down module that
	comes with Shutdown Monitor (instead of the one on the "Start" 
	menu) are:
	  1. You completely avoid having Windows' Shut Down timing out.
	  2. You don't have to wait until all your programs and commands
	     execute to finish shutting down.
	  3. You avoid using system resources while Shutdown Monitor runs
	     in the background (or minimized) waiting for Windows to 
	     Shut Down.

	List Commands and Shutdown Folder programs in one window.  Added
	priorty run buttons (like in Shutmon Maintenance).  Now you can
	review the entire execute list at one time, and modify the run
	order of the entire execute list, not just the command lines.

Version 1.2.1 - Fixed a bug that prevented Shutdown Monitor from closing
	WIndows NT directly from the program.

Version 1.3.0 - More robust NT support and improved "shortcut" support.

Version 1.3.1 - Moved username and license number from HKEY_CURRENT_USER
        to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE for easier management of users on one 
        machine.

	Fixed a minor bug that caused priority buttons to be 
        always visible.
