I would like to run a script/batch file when I choose Start>Shutdown. I have looked at programs like Karen's Show Stopper, but they only run a script/batch before THEY shutdown the computer.
I have heard about programs like LastChance, but I would like a method that does not have yet another process running to achieve it. I've looked at Group Policy, but it is not a part of XP Home.

I tried to enter the registry entries for GP manually, but nothing happened on shutdown. The GP core is probably not even in XP Home. Logitrace Serial Keygens.
Scheduled Tasks only has an option for logon / startup. Is there any other method [other than upgrading to XP Pro:) ]? If you're worried about windows updating the kernel and you want to check it hasn't in your own shutdown script. Will that work?
Change Routeros Software Identification there. In this article, you will learn about different commands to shut down, reboot, and log off the PC. Also, you will learn about batch file shutdown commands.
It requires you to reboot because it is going to update the.dll in a _startup_ script (the file is in use so that is why it has to restart). Windows will flag the file to be changed next boot up, you'll run your script when you shutdown won't it find nothing? It will start up and change the file when starting in a wininit.ini or similar, not before it shutsdown.
So perhaps you need to use a startup script or eventually use a much smarter shutdown script that checks that an update is scheduled and schedules one of it's own. Find an update that already updates the file in question and find out how and when it works. You'll need to know the exact mechanism to counteract the change. Is the change you want to do a modified.dll or is it a patch that modifies an existing dll?
