Auto Logoff

Hello guys, im always forgetting to logoff when i leave my computer. Everyone tells me to alter my power settings but i don't want to as i share media over my network and low power state modes can cause problems and also i want instant access to my computer when i sit at my desk.

So to cut a long story short, is there an app or some sort of file i can make to automatically log my system off after a certain amount of inactivity.

Oh and finally i am aware of the screen saver logoff feature but if I'm honest i am not a big fan of screen savers.

Any help will be great


Thanks!!!

Pro

like I use Shutdown and Restart from script- faster than mouse 2 orb--> arrow to shutdown or switch or restart
all files are listed in system32...

so I'm sure link to c:\windows\system32\logoff.exe -t 00 = delaytime will work.

easy to make review my post of 1 click shutdown or 1click restart or
follow these super easy instructions..

And your all done. Now when you click the shortcut, the desktop is locked and you must press CTRL+ALT+DEL and enter your username and password to unlock it.

Here are the other codes.
shutdown -s -t 00 (for shutdown)
shutdown -r -t 00 (for restart)
shutdown -l -t 00 (for logoff)
you will have to play with the timer for what you think is correct.

last is Put a shortcut on your desktop to
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

and make sure that fast user switching is enabled in Control Panel --> User Accounts.
