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.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.
