You may want to look into using Group Policy to enforce the screensaver to lock the
computer after a period of inactivity and also hide the screensaver tab so that users
can not disable it. To actually log a user off you would need to use a screensaver
that can do that such as winexit.scr from the resource kit. --- Steve
