Hello All,

In a Windows NT or 2000 environment, is there a way to implement a
session disconnect *without* using a password protected screen saver?

In other words, if a client does *not* want to implement screen savers,
is there a way to force a user to re-enter their username and password
again if the system were to sit idle for 15 minutes or more?

I found a couple of registry setting that *might* do it, but am not sure
........

HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/LanManServer/Parameters/EnableForcedLogOff
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/LanManServer/Parameters/AutoDisconnect

Any suggestions?
