Default Auto LogOff after Inactivity

I am trying to find a solution that will auto log-off a user on Vista not
connect to a domain after inactivity. I know that winexit.scr worked on XP
and I tried it on Vista but it gives me a Registry error on executing and
setting the settings.

Also, tried LogonExpert but that doesn't seem to have the option to logoff
after inactivity - only logoff at specified time.

Are there any other alternatives out there?

Thanks in advance...

This is really sad that Vinny posted this item over a year ago and no
replies.

I am looking for the solution to this very same question, and hope
someone - by now - has an answer.

Can't you just lock the desktop after inactivity?
i.e. in Screen Saver Settings, tick "On resume display logon screen".

You can try using 'ScreenPass' (http://screenpass.net)

ScreenPass automatically Logout idle workstations after administrator
defined idle period has exceeded.

Works under XP and Vista.
