Is there a way to automatically "lock" a workstation after
a specified period of inactivity on the part of the user?

I don't want to log the user out, I just want to lock the
workstation, just as if I had pressed CTRL-ALT-DEL and
clicked on the Lock Workstation button, or ran the
command, "rundll32 user32.dll,LockWorkStation" from the
command line.

Please help.

Thank you.
