Well, not quite so fast. Most Windows friendly applications talk to
Windows during the shutdown process. For example, my Word '97 will
gracefully close files, prompt me for save of updated and open files,
then shut down, all from a single Windows shutdown command.
Microsoft put the hooks there for application programmers to use if
they want to. I recall this particular hook in one of the earliest
versions of the Windows SDK. This is one of those ADSM rough edges.
There are (V2 at least) similar rough edges on the Macintosh client,
the close window box on the Mac client actually shuts down the
application. Frustrating to Mac users who think they are just putting
the window into the background and then don't get a backup. We
reported this particular grievance to IBM - and a fix was possible for
v3. I haven't checked yet.

ADSM like any other program on WIN 95 is a started task. If you shut down
Win 95 without shutting down running programs, you will get the same
problem. It is a function of the operating system not ADSM. The solution
is to go to Windows NT, where ADSM runs as a service in the background.
