    Ctr - Alt - Del

    When a program is exited by using CTR - ALT - DEL, does it process the WM_DESTROY message before it exits? Is this different depending the version of windows?

    whee

    Easy stuff. Rewrote a small program of mine to popup a message box when the WM_DESTROY message is processed. Used CTLALTDEL to shut down the program and BAM! Good ole' message box came up letting me know I had shut it down using WM_DESTROY. I tried this both on WinXP and Win98 and it worked both times.
