To use this feature, you must implement the IProcessInitializer interface, which has following signature:

[ object, pointer_default(unique), uuid(1113f52d-dc7f-4943-aed6-88d04027e32a) ] interface IProcessInitializer : IUnknown {   HRESULT Startup([in]IUnknown *punkProcessControl); HRESULT Shutdown; }

When you start or shut down an application, the COM+ service calls these two methods respectively.
