I want to force a Windows XP computer to log the user(s)
out completely after being idle for 15 minutes...any
ideas on how to do that?

Go to admin tools
Open local Security Settings
Open Security Settings
Look for Micrsoft Network Server: Amount of idle time reguired before
:) suspending session

Mike,

From <http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314882>:

The Windows Server service is self-tuning; normally the server configuration
parameters are autoconfigured (calculated and set) each time you start Windows
XP. If you run net config server in conjunction with the /autodisconnect,
/servcomment or /hidden options, the current values for the automatically tuned
parameters are displayed and written to the registry. After these parameters are
written to the registry, you cannot tune the Server service by using the
Networks tool in Control Panel. If you change any of the Server service
settings, Windows XP can no longer automatically tune the Server service for
your new configuration. To avoid losing the Server service's automatic
self-tuning capability, make the change through Registry Editor instead from a
command line or Control Panel Network.
