There are a couple of ways to do this. You can edit Group Policy, under Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Scripts (Startup/Shutdown); there you can add entries for any number of things to run at shutdown. Or, you could create a batch file which runs whatever you want and then shuts the computer down by using the SHUTDOWN command. Depending on your needs, you can use either approach.
