>Ha Ha! My partner in crime here at Lexseco, Chris McCandless tried to pull the old "ON SHUTDOWN" gag on me before he took off for Chicago tonight. Fortunately I had just read your post not minutes before I tried exitting FoxPro. Now that he's gone for the weekend have you got any more gags you'd like to share?

You could set his _screen wallpaper to a .bmp representing a BSOD, plus having ON KEY LABEL < all keys > * defined in his startup prg.

BTW, I found this text somewhere:

In a surprise announcement today, Microsoft President Steve Ballmer
revealed that the Redmond-based company will allow computer resellers
and end-users to customize the appearance of the Blue Screen of Death
(BSOD), the screen that displays when the Windows operating system
crashes.

The move comes as the result of numerous focus groups and customer
surveys done by Microsoft. Thousands of Microsoft customers were asked,
"What do you spend the most time doing on your computer?"

A surprising number of respondents said, "Staring at a Blue Screen of
Death." At 54 percent, it was the top answer, beating the second place
answer "Downloading XXXScans" by an easy 12 points.

"We immediately recognized this as a great opportunity for ourselves,
our channel partners, and especially our customers," explained the
excited Ballmer to a room full of reporters.

Immense video displays were used to show images of the new
customizable BSOD screen side-by-side with the older static version.
Users can select from a collection of "BSOD Themes," allowing them to
instead have a Mauve Screen of Death or even a Paisley Screen of Death.
Graphics and multimedia content can now be incorporated into the
screen, making the BSOD the perfect conduit for delivering product
information and entertainment to Windows users.

The BSOD is by far the most recognized feature of the Windows
operating system, and as a result, Microsoft has historically insisted
on total control over its look and feel. This recent departure from
that policy reflects Microsoft's recognition of the Windows desktop
itself as the "ultimate information portal." By default, the new BSOD
will be configured to show a random selection of Microsoft product
information whenever the system crashes. Microsoft channel partners
can negotiate with Microsoft for the right to customize the BSOD on
systems they ship.

Major computer resellers such as Compaq, Gateway, and Dell are
already lining up for premier placement on the new and improved BSOD.

Ballmer concluded by getting a dig in against the Open Source
community. "This just goes to show that Microsoft continues to
innovate at a much faster pace than open source. I have yet to see any
evidence that Linux even has a BSOD, let alone a customizable one."
