Hello everybody, thanks for looking at this...
Ok we want to force users off a PC after it's be idle for about 30 minutes. But, first we want a screen saver to start after about 10 minutes and before it logs the user off the computer we want it to save any open files.
So something like this:
1. User leaves computer alone for 10 minutes and a screen saver starts.
2. User doesn't come back after 20 more minutes. So we want the system to save any open files and close open applications. Then the system logs the user off the computer.
We've been looking at Winexit.scr from Microsoft resource kit, but it doesn't look like we can do the first step. It will log the user off at the set time, but not if there is a file open with unsaved data.
We had to find a NT article to make Winexit to work on our XP Pro systems. It took a registry edit to fix the initial problem.
Any ideas and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
