I quoted that yesterday but after trying it didn't work. It works only when there is some countdown while there is an info or not on why it is shutting down etc.
e.g. it will work after the command below but not during a normal shutdown, for the latter if you try to abort that way shutdown.exe will simply crashes under xp and vista.
shutdown -r -t 10 -c "rebooting in ten seconds"

What you can do is have a background application that's slow at shutting down, maybe 8 seconds or so (not too long or it will be forced closed). That can cancel the shutdown if a specific key is pressed.
This will only give you time until all applications are closed. After that you can't cancel anymore.

You can still create the two shortcuts on your desktop, one that you will always use for shutting down (e.g.: shutdown -s -t 5 -c "shutting down in 5 seconds") and one for aborting (shutdown -a). :/

Yap, its possible, I've created a small .NET app that just stays there waiting for the shutdown. When it receives the Windows shutdown event it displays a box with a button (and a timer) for you to cancel the shutdown.
