last time a user shut down Windows?  
News Group: borland.public.delphi.nativeapi.win32 

Is this stored in the registry somewhere? Or is there an API call to get it?

I want to be able to determine when the user last shut down this machine ... 
thanks.

The event log may give you this information. Possibly searching for an
specific Event ID and looking for the most recent date/time?

It is not that easy to see when a user shut down the system but you
can easily tell when they logged off and logged on to the system.

Not that I am aware of.

No.

Then you will have to keep track of it manually, such as by writing your own 
service that queries the current date/time in its OnShutdown event.
