Auto XP Log Off 1

[cmhdover]

We have Windows XP Professional machines and in one of our offices, there are 13 users assigned to each of the 3 computers. We have an issue of the users not logging off when they are done, so we would like an auto log off option.

We tried the winexit screen saver option thru microsoft. It works - but only if the user is an administrator on the machine. Unfortunately, they are all power users. Here is the error message I get for power users:

"Error encountered while creating regsitry key. Make sure you have Set Value and Create Subkey permissions"

Is there a work around or a better option?

Thanks

Are any of these suggestions practicable?

How can I use the WinExit screen saver without granting Admin rights?

Thanks bcastner - that worked! I did NOT have to give users administrative rights. It's working just fine!

Thanks!
