		<description><![CDATA[Need to force that stale user to log off?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had a friend recently ask me how to get XP to log off a user automatically after a certain amount of inactivity. So, I figured I would take a look around and find the solution for him.</p>
<p>Windows 2003 Resource Kit has a screen saver that does just what he needed. Check out the Microsoft KB article that describes <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314999">how to set it all up</a>.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Lock down that screen saver!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re ever in the need to keep users from changing their screen saver, for whatever reason, follow these steps:</p>
<p>Go to START, then RUN. Enter this command: gpedit.msc<span id="more-72"></span><br />
This opens the local system policy, and you&#8217;ll find the options you require under:<br />
<em>Local Computer Policy > User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Display</em></p>
<p>Then change the following four options to set a specific screensaver and lock it:</p>
<ul>
<li>Change the option &#8220;Screen Saver&#8221; to <strong>Enabled</strong></li>
<li>Change the option &#8220;Screen Saver Executable Name&#8221; to <strong>Enabled</strong>, and enter the file name of an .scr file (from the Windows directory) in the box labeled &#8220;Screen Saver executable name&#8221;.  For example, to set the screen saver to the logon screen saver, enter &#8220;logon.scr&#8221;.</li>
<li>Change the option &#8220;Password Protect the Screen Saver&#8221; to <strong>Enabled </strong>(to password protect the screen saver and lock it) or <strong>Disabled </strong>(to keep password protection from applying to the screen saver and lock it), as necessary.</li>
<li>Change the option &#8220;Screen Saver Timeout&#8221; to <strong>Enabled</strong>, and enter the number of seconds in the box labeled &#8220;Seconds&#8221;. (10 minutes = 600 seconds)</li>
</ul>
<p>This will lock changing the screen saver, and set the screen saver options and lock them from being changed.</p>
