Is there a feature in WinXPPro to automatically log
interactive users off? I am scheduling nightly backups
and I want the Access db closed when the backup runs.

Hi

Here is a couple of other ways to do it:

A)

Winexit.scr in the Win2k3 Server RK kit (will work on Win2k and WinXP at least)

Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&DisplayLang=en

(The kit will install on WinXP or later)

If the users are non-admins on the local computer you must add Set Value and
Create Subkey permissions for the group Everyone on this registry key:
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion

How can I use the WinExit screen saver without granting Admin rights?

B)

You could create a scheduled job on each computer that logs the user off after
a set amount of idle time:
