So let them stay logged in. That's what I normally do. I've often got over a dozen windows open, some with dozens of documents/tabs. I don't want to have to shut all that stuff down every day. > The only detrimental effects that I can think of are > added power consumption ... Power consumption can be easily addressed with power management. Have the computer shut off monitor and hard disks when idle. That alone will save big power, and wake up is still nearly instantaneous. If you want to save more, have it go into standby (suspend-to-RAM) after like two idle hours. That will still wake up fairly quickly, while using very little power. > ... ticket expiration. ??? You mean Kerberos?

If you're depending on roaming profile sync to protect user data, profiles only get sync'ed at logoff. If there was nothing else going on, I'd script something to force a logoff/reboot periodically. But thanks to Microsoft's monthly updates, I figure that takes care of it for me. ;-) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
