c++ - How can I Execute a Function when Windows Shut down

Question

How Can I execute a function when Windows shutdown. Here is my scenario, I am mounting a drive using WNetAddConnection2 function in my application. Now I want user to set the option if the drive will be mounted on next system startup or not.

If he selects , not to mount on next startup , then I need to remove the drive using WNetCancelConnection2 , but this should only happen when user shutdown the system.

I can only think of only solution. Create a service which will check the user option and then decide whether to mount the drive or not.

Are there any other ways to go ahead with it?

If you have a main window (even an invisible one) that can process messages, you can handle the WM_ENDSESSION message.
