I have created a small utility that:

- creates a taskicon
- sits and waits for either a click on the taskicon or a hotkey event, which runs another program. The click displays a menu that gives the option to close the program
- if the program gets a "close" event, it closes itself

On my local computer, this works fine. When I log off, the program closes without a problem.

However, I have it running on a terminal server (Windows Server 2003) and when the user logs off, it does not close the program. I get no error message, but the session will not log off. Once I close my program, I can log off fine.

Here is the odd thing - on another server that we have, it works fine. It is something about that particular server that it doesn't seem to issue the correct "close" message to my program.

Has anyone ever come across this? Any suggestions?

Windows sends a WM_QUERYENDSESSION message to all programs/windows opened, each app needs to return TRUE or FALSE immediately telling windows if it should shutdown. I think VDS taskicon apps have had this problem for awhile now. You may be able to use gadgetx to intercept this message and return TRUE to allow the shutdown.

I saw something about that on another thread, so I added the following lines to my program:
