Write a Macro in VBA - excel AFTER the user has closed the Excel

Question

I need to write a macro in Excel VBA, that terminates a process running in windows tasks AFTER the excel has been closed down. I tried it doing this on event workbook_BeforeClos

Some of the other ideas are ok and I agree with saving first, but you should ask for their permission beforehand. This also allows the user to save first as it checks first if it's saved.

You should invoke the user to save the workbook before you terminate. E.g.

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(CANCEL As Boolean)

If Not Me.Saved Then 
    Msg = "Do you want to save the changes you made to " 
    Msg = Msg & Me.Name & "?" 
    Ans = MsgBox(Msg, vbQuestion + vbYesNoCancel) 
    Select Case Ans
        Case vbYes 
            Me.Save 
        Case vbNo 
            Me.Saved = True 
        Case vbCancel 
            Cancel = True 
            Exit Sub 
    End Select
End If

Run "MacroCloseProcess"

End sub
