I have used the policies to disallow the ctrl-alt-delete lockout button,
but now the students, will not log off, is there a poilcy that i can enforce
an idle timer ?

log them off after 10 minutes of no use,.. i was thinking of using the
screen saver policy as teh timer, but i dont know the name of the "log off"
executable.. any ideas???
 
There are third party logoff screen savers and one from the Resource Kit
called winexit.scr. Winexit would have to be configured to close open
applications which can lead to loss of data, but that usually happens only
once. Also the registry may need to be modified to allow it to work for non
admins depending on the operating system. The links below provide more info.
You will want to use Group Policy to prevent users from disabling the screen
saver logoff or to change the screen saver. This can be done in user
configuration/administrative templates/control panel/display. --- Steve
