The task scheduler has, under the Settings tab, the
ability to schedule a tast to run X minutes after logon.
I want to have all the workstations on our network lock
themselves if they have been inactive/"idle" for one
hour.

I could do this through GP and the screen saver,
requiring a password, but it appears to require that the
user has selected a screen saver program (which may not
be the case) or I can select the program for them and who
wants to force everyone in a company to use the same
screen saver?????

The 'idle time after logon' feature of the Task
Scheduler, at first, appears to be the answer. But I
don't see any way to run a specific task through task
scheduler via GP. All the options in GP have to do with
limiting access to Task Scheduler; not actually running a
task. When I looked at the alternative of the AT command
line, there does not appear to be a 'idle time after
logon' switch. I'm stuck. Any ideas?

Thanks. Bill Branham
