Create a procedure in your main.prg as follows:

PROCEDURE PropShutdown()
ON SHUTDOWN
*!*Any other clean up code you may want goes here
QUIT
ENDPROC

...Alternate procedure would be

PROCEDURE PropShutdown()
ON SHUTDOWN
*!*Any other clean up code you may want goes here
IF _vfp.StartMode = 0
Cancel
ELSE
QUIT
ENDIF
ENDPROC

...and then the last thing you need to do is near the very top of your main.prg put the line:

ON SHUTDOWN DO PropShutdown
