How to Programmatically Determine if Windows is Shutting Down?

Question

I am making an application which runs on our every PC in random times. It works fine, however if the PC is currently shutting down, then I can't read the WMI and i get some errors. So I need to determinate if a PC is shutting down currently, and so i could avoid these errors. Does anyone has an idee?

Thanks!

Call GetSystemMetrics with index SM_SHUTTINGDOWN (0x2000).
