As far as I can see the exit hooks for Emacs are not run when a user
logs out from Windows 2000 or reboots the pc. I do not know however if
this problem is specific to w32. It is in my opinion a serious problem
that ought to be fixed before the release.
I'm not sure they can be run reliably. The system gives Emacs (or any
other application) a short amount of time to exit cleanly before issuing
the equivalent of a kill -9. Since such hooks often involve user
interaction, there is no guarantee that we will finish in time, so the
safest thing to do is to just make sure all autosave files are written
before exiting so that the user can recover their session later.
