Basically, I have a PC that I only want certain people to use. Sometimes they
forget to logoff when they are done... So is there a setting that will
automatically log off the user after, for example, 10 minutes of inactivity ??

Thanks

hey everyone,
I'm all googled out! does anyone know if there is a way to
force/automatically log off a user after x amount of minutes of inactivity in

Thanks
