Fronties ~ is spot on, you can set the shut down events in all currently used Windows.

Doesn't anyone remember the old:

IT IS NOW SAFE TO TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER

You then used the front (or back) button to shut it down?

I shall have to start the evening session by being nice

its far more effitient to bypass it all with a little sysmic adjustment utilising a pall pin hammer.
I won't go for the spelling innovations other than pall pin.............I am enough of a hardware engineer to only take a ball pein hammer to a computer.....................unless it is stubborn, in which case a six-pound lump hammer will do the job
