Hi. I know it's easy to set up windows to lock after a period of inactivity by using a screensaver, but because of certain programs that I have running, I am unable to use a screensaver, but I want my windows 2000 system to automatically lock after 5 minutes. Any suggestions for ways to accomplish this through the registry, security policies or 3rd party programs?

Worst case senario, I might end up trying to write a program myself to handle this, but I hate re-inventing the wheel!
