Subclassing Menu Help

[jrl237]

Okay, here's one for all the Subclassing Gurus out there.

Is there a way to add an item to the system menu that pops up when you right-click the desktop?

I'd like to add a Shutdown option (yes, like OS/2 has.) I can write the shutdown routine, but can't find a way to add it to the menu. I can stick it in the system tray, but old habits die hard, and I'd like to be able to do it with a right-click.

Not sure you need subclassing...
if you get the hWnd of the desktop you can use GetSystemMenu to get to the default menu handle.
then AppendMenu....
(haven't tried this!!!!)
