Windows Authentication/Session Timeout issue

Since all of the brightest at Microsoft seem to be in here, I will ask
you guys this question.

We have an intranet application using Windows Authentication. I was
NOT in on writing it, I just have to squash the bugs. This
application has a timeout set in the web.config file of xx minutes.
USING WINDOWS Authentication, we don't have a login page. When the
session times out and a user tries to continue working (long lunch,
etc), it throws an error something like "Session is in an invalid
state" or something to that effect. I am sure that their session has
timed out and they need to return to the main page and start over.

My question to the group is....

How can I redirect an asp.net application that uses Windows
Authentication upon session timeout?

I have seen alot of OLD posts stating that you should use Forms
Authentication to do this or use the Meta tag REFRESH to handle it. I
am an older coder which means I am lazy and want to do this the
easiest way possible (and without checking out some 300 web forms from
VSS).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
