I want to be able to execute a script when my power button is pushed so that my computer will be able to run an update before it powers down. I would like to be able to keep the computer from going through the shutdown process until the script has completed running.

Place a shortcut to it in your startup folder

USE THE ATTACHED PROGRAM TO:
-Intercept Windows Shutdown
-Customizable Shutdown Options (Logoff, Hibernate, Forced Shutdown, Standby...ETC)
-Close Ride Runner
-Run up to 4 programs or scripts one after another
-Disable mouse and keyboard
-turn off monitor as soon as power button is pushed
