I just tried that.  I commented out the message map line so as not to 
interfeer with the normal processing of the end session messages.  I 
then modified the OnQueryClose to not ask about saving, just save and 
exit.  

Same problem.

I want the shutdown on Windows shutdown to be non interactive, just save 
and close.  If the user manually closes the app, then I want to ask if 
they want to save modified files.

Not sure what you are asking about here.  Is that the window that 
windows is actually sending the WM_QUERYENDSESSION to?  How do I get the 
handle, TApplication doesn't seem to work.  Even if I send to the hidden 
form using my "fake" shutdown app and it returns false from the end 
session messages, how do I isolate the source.

The goal is to identify what is causing the problem.  If it is a 
component I have the source for I will try to fix it.  If it is one I 
don't have the source for then I will contact the vendor for a patch, or 
replace the component with something else.
