We have a public Windows XP Pro computer that I would like to be able to set
up an automatic logout after the passage of a specified number of minutes.
Is there a way to do this ?

Create an Autoit executable with the sole command:

shutdown(12)

http://autoitscript.com

Rename this from .exe to .scr

Save in the Windows directory, and set as the screensaver.

Or, this may be suitable:

however, included in the Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit file set at:
