That was my same conclusion, based on reading the documentation of the
actual system messages. But it is interesting that the advice above
contradicts the advice in the documentation for WM_QUERYENDSESSION,
which says you should NOT perform cleanup while processing that message,
but save it for WM_ENDSESSION. I think the contradictions in Microsoft's
documentation about shutdown are what is causing the confusion here.
Lennart posted another contradiction, where in the documentation for
InitiateSystemShutdown, there is advice that applications can delay
shutdown if they have unsaved data if a particular flag is passed. But
that advice is for users of InitiateSystemShutdown, not for recipients
of the shutdown messages, so my opinion is that it is informing of worst
case expectations for code that wants to shut the system down (assuming
that not all applications will take the advice elsewhere - apparently
some of Microsoft's own products do not).
