With a totally W2k you can set a policy for a locked screen saver to come on at a set idle time. -----Original Message----- From: Mitchel Chapman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 8:09 PM To: 'Tim V(@DZ)'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: User Log off

Basically, people staying logged in is bad for a whole slew of privacy and security reasons (as you all know). My users seem to have trouble understanding this. I know I can set a Windows 2000 Group Policy for "logout automatically" and "time to terminate session" or something like that, but I'm pretty sure that only applies to terminal services clients. I searched the web for a while and came up with 12Ghosts Shutdown which is a small app that "overloads" the shutdown of Windows and among other things has a inactivity timer. However, in testing, having picky programs (like Outlook 2002) open will effectively not let 12Ghosts log the user out. Has anyone else solved this issue with some sort of technology, I'm wearing thin on user eduacation right now... -tim PS I suppose I should let everyone know that the network is completely Windows 2000.
