Here's a script that will close RR when executed.
I also included the autoit source.

There are some other options out there for intercepting the shutdown command. Girder can do it, by using the RequestShutdown event, performing your actions, and then issuing a shutdown. Also, DShutdown (which is free) will also allow running a program prior to shutdown.

Great! I was looking for tutorials on making a bat file with the taskkill option. Your app really comes in handy & I'll try it on my PC tomorrow

Will it work if I'm using RoadRunner instead of RideRunner?

Here's my PBTintercept.ini setup :

[OnShutdown]
Runapp=c:\closerr.exe
RuncmdLine=
MaxWaitSecs=0

sorry will only work with ride runner
this script will exit before RR is closed so RR may still get killed by the windows shutdown command.
I will work on a modded version later since I will want something like this as well.

Here ya go,
updated version will not close until RR is finished closing.

PBTintercept.ini setup should look just like this:

[OnShutdown]
Runapp=c:\closerr.exe
RuncmdLine=
MaxWaitSecs=0

Ok getting pretty excited about this Power Button Intercept I decided to work on something my self.
Here is a program that will run up to 4 programs one after another. It will also close RR if you would like it to as well.

Does your program require Windows Script Host to run? It ran well on my desktop. When I tried it on my CarPC using TinyXp REV09, the script will just pause & trigger my "Exit_Menu" skin. I will have to press the Exit button manually or run another instance of CloseRR to sucessfully exit RR. I spent my whole Sunday trying to figure out the problem & finally realised that TinyXp doesn't comes with the Windows Script Host.

This scrip requires nothing extra.
You need to go in to
RRCONFIG
Gerneral => Page 1
change your EXIT OPTION to EXIT, it is probably set on SHOWMENU currently.

Thanks, Thunder!

I'm so near & yet I missed that out

Everything's well now & RR/Winamp will start with the last VST presets config. I'm really enjoying my music more.
