Windows gives you many different ways to run applications when you start up but no way to run utilities when you shut down. I find this annoying, since I'd rather have the virus scanning, disk checking, and backing up occur after I leave the office than while I wait. ShutdownPlus replaces the normal Windows 9x shutdown dialogue box and provides such useful options as running utilities or batch files, deleting temp files, and enforcing password protection. You can download a free trial copy of the $US35 ShutdownPlus from the cover CD or from its creators at WM Software (www.wmsoftware.com).
