    It is one of the easiest way through which you can make the aspect to be performed well. There is a process through which you can then perform the task well which is going to help out for getting the things to be worked well as needed. You can schedule it also well. There is one switch logoff.exe just schedule it as mentioned that is start-programs-accessories-systemtool-scheduler-add schedule-browse logoff.exe(c-windows-system32-logoff) go to properties and just schedule it. The process will then be processed and functioned as required and can hence work well that is needed.

The Winexit.scr process needs to be configured well which will be better and helpful. All you need to do is to Use Windows Explorer to locate the Winexit.scr file in the Windows 2000 Resource Kit folder on your hard disk. Right-click the Winexit.scr file, and then click Install.The Display Properties dialog box appears with the Screen Saver tab active. The Logoff Screen Saver entry is automatically selected.
