Auto-Logoff and Screensaver Lock

[Guest]

I have winexit.scr configured to logoff users on a shared PC after 8 hours.
But, I need the PC to also do a screensaver lock if the user walks away from
the PC for say, 10 minutes. So, when they come back to the PC they can unlock
it, and resume working.

I suppose there's no way configure one screensaver to kick-in before the
other? I don't see a way around this dilemma

Hi

As you suspected, two screensavers are not possible.

You could create a scheduled task that starts at user logon and is
configured to kick in at a set amount of idle time. It will then log
off the user (this will take over the job from winexit.scr).

Then you can configure an ordinary screensaver for the lock after
10 minutes requirement.
