Logoff after X minutes of inactivity...?

[Kenneth]

Howdy,

I assume that there is a Win 2000 Pro setting that will
cause the system to logoff a user after a set time of
inactivity...

Where might that setting be found?

Sincere thanks,

To lock (not logoff) the computer after X minutes:
Right-click on the desktop (not on an icon)
Properties
Screen Saver tab
Choose a screen saver
Check the Password Protected box
Set the minutes next to Wait
Click [OK]

Hi Austin,

I thank you for your comment, but I do want to log off after
a set period of inactivity.

I eventually found (and have just posted about) WINEXIT.SCR
which is intended to do what I need. Unfortunately, I can't
get it to work.

Thanks,
