You can also set the system to go into Standby mode after a certain
period, then require a password to get back in from Standby mode. It
functions the same way as Ctrl + Alt + Del, Lock Computer.
To do this: Control Panel > Power Options. Set the System standby to
whatever period of time you want. Then click the Advanced tab and check
Prompt for password when computer goes off standby.

Get the windows 2000 Pro resource kit.
In there is a tool called Windows exit screen saver.
this logs off the user after a certain period of time.
Hope this helps

Subject: User Log off
Does anyone know of group policies, software, configurations that will
automatically log a user off after a specific amount of time?
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...

PS I suppose I should let everyone know that the network is completely
Windows 2000.
