Control Panel : Power Options : Power Shemes;

Set standby to 30 mins

Then in Advance; Check "Prompt for password to come out of standby"

This will not auto log off; however the orginal user will have to log on to use the system, and anyone else that trys to access the PC will have to log with there own user account

If you have the Win2000 Resource Kit, yes you can force applications to terminate after a certain period of idle time... (both in Win2000 andin WinXP). See the following for more info (please remove any embedded spaces with pasting the link into your browser):
