Auto-logoff from XP workstations after idle period?

I saw some Group Policy settings which make reference to this but I'm not
sure if this is right.

Setup is Windows 2000 Server and Windows XP Pro workstations. There is a
lab of WinXP workstations which this customer wants the workstations to
automatically logoff if the users leave it for 15mins.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

SW

I think this can be implemented with a screen saver.

No that's to "lock" the workstation and no "logoff". Unless I'm missing
something here.

Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for. I hate asking questions
when it seems simple to find the answer on your own but I must have been
"googling" the wrong wording.

Thanks again,
