Is there any keyboard shortcut or method that will halt a windows shutdown or logoff while it is in progress?

I am not talking about a scheduled shutdown, but one that is user-initiated.

Assuming by "in progress" you're in the timeout period, you can use the command line option shutdown /a to abort a shutdown/restart. Use shutdown /? to list possible options.

If however you're on the 'Windows is restarting' screen, as far as I know you're out of luck.
