I found a document that hopefully will end this discussion:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shutdown/base/shutting_down.asp
IMHO, a relevant part from that page:
Shutdown Notifications
Applications with a window and message queue receive shutdown
notifications through the WM_QUERYENDSESSION message. These
applications should perform any required cleanup while processing
this message and return TRUE to indicate that they can be
terminated.
Applications should not block system shutdown unless it is
absolutely necessary to prevent corrupting the system or media
that is being burned.
This section is especially interesting:
Applications that have unsaved data ***could save the data to a
temporary location and restore it the next time the application
starts***...
So, I conclude that displaying a dialog box ("Do you want to save bla
bla?") would violate the "rules" above, wouldn't they?
