Inactivity to close activity and log out

[ineuw]

I volunteer at a retirement community center equipped with Windows 7 computers. There is only one user account for everyone, so it's a public system. Users often walk away and forget to log out and return to the accounts screen.

Is it possible to terminate a session based on inactivity and return to the accounts screen? Locking the screen is insufficient because everyone uses the same password.



It's the user's responsibility to save or bookmark their work. If it wasn't saved or bookmarked, it would be lost.

Doesn't appear you can do this in group policy as you may know. That particular policy seems to only be for remote desktop.

I just mentioned this piece of software before, and it looks like this will work for you as well. The program is called Shutter Lite and not only can you hide the tray icon, but password the interface. Shutter Lite - automatic shutdown tool

@F22 Simpilot Much thanks for the link. I am testing it now, and it's quite sophisticated
