Is there any way to run script before the computer running Windows 7 or 2008 shuts down without using local group policy editor or domain based policy? Regedit tool should be OK if possible.

Do you mean the local group policy editor or domain based policy? – joeqwerty Jan 28 '12 at 16:35

Yes sorry for the weak description. – MatBanik Jan 28 '12 at 16:38

All that `regedit` would do is directly manipulate the registery keys that the local security policy or group policy consoles would. I recommend using those tools instead. – MDMarra Jan 28 '12 at 17:22

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\State\Machine\Scripts\Shutdown
this is the location I think you are looking for.

When I go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\State\Machine\" I do not see any "Scripts" key under Windows 7. – MatBanik Jan 28 '12 at 17:53

do this use the local policies tool to create the proper key then just copy the results. – tony roth Jan 28 '12 at 18:15
