This could be done with a custom written screen saver.  I'm sure something
out there exists like this.  I may write one ... it would be pretty easy.

Too late. The Windows NT Resource Kit ships such a thing. Search there
for winexit.scr!

The NT4 Resource Kit (supplemental 1) contains a WINEXIT screen saver that
does just what you want...

Have a look at my /nt/misc web page.
It does exactly describe how to install winexit.scr

Winexit.scr is a nice tool - even stops DOS box - but does anybody know
about an auto-logoff that works even if the workstation was LOCKED by
the user? winexit only terminates all applications, but the WS remains
locked. We have this problem in a public NT-pool and want to auto-logoff
after say 20mins or so.
