Is there any way to run script before the computer running Windows 7 or 2008 shuts down without using local group policy editor or domain based policy? Regedit tool should be OK if possible.

Do you mean the local group policy editor or domain based policy? – joeqwerty Jan 28 at 16:35
Yes sorry for the weak description. – Mat Banik Jan 28 at 16:38
All that regedit would do is directly manipulate the registery keys that the local security policy or group policy consoles would. I recommend using those tools instead. – MDMarra Jan 28 at 17:22

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\State\Machine\Scripts\Shutdown

this is the location I think you are looking for.

When I go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\State\Machine\" I do not see any "Scripts" key under Windows 7. – Mat Banik Jan 28 at 17:53
do this use the local policies tool to create the proper key then just copy the results. – tony roth Jan 28 at 18:15
I can seem to be able to fined Local Policy Tool. Only thing I have is Local Security Policy Tool. – Mat Banik Jan 28 at 18:19
MMC... File... Add/Remove Snap-in... Group Policy Object Editor... Add... Local Computer... Finish... OK – joeqwerty Jan 28 at 19:45
