This can be done using the class Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents. Please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.win32.systemevents.aspx[^].

Pay attention for the static events Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.SessionEnding and Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.SessionEnding. You add a event handle to any of them, check up the reason of ending, which is passed to you in event arguments, and perform the action before the session actually ends. Interestingly and importantly, in case if SessionEnding you can even cancel the ending, which will effectively delay shutdown or restart until the user allows to forcefully shutdown or restart it either by ignoring your application or checking if it's safe to end the session. Please see:
