You can use the winexit.scr screensaver and configure it to force applications to
close which could lead to data loss however. You may need to do a registry mod if the
user is not a local administrator. Otherwise try configuring a Scheduled Task to
enable PsShutdown /o after and idle period. PsShutdown is a free download from
SysInternals. By the way, the AD logoff does not log users off of the local
machine.--- Steve
