I cannot get Environment.HasShutdownStarted to work.
I placed it in;
private void MainForm_Closing(object sender,
 System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)

but it always returns false, even when shutting down WindowsXP prof.

I placed this MessageBox in the same routine;
MessageBox.Show(Environment.HasShutdownStarted.ToString(),"Shutting Down?");
which always returns FALSE.

I'm at a loss with how to differentiate between the User closing the app
down and Windows closing the app down

I even wrote a second very simple app and placed the
Environment.HasShutdownStarted in the form1_closing event. Still always
returns false.

I must be missing something obvious?
