Idle time logoff utility with warning box!

Looking for a tool that will logoff when user becomes idle. Students will access library computers and tend to leave themselves logged into the computer. I would like the compter to logoff when idle. We are using default profiles. I cannot find anything in group policy. Also would like warning box to appear with 60 sec timeout. These computer are in a domain. Thanks

The simplest option is the WinExit screen saver - works just like a normal screen saver but logs off rather than showing a pretty picture - and it free - its part of the 2003 resource kit http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9D467A69-57FF-4AE7-96EE-B18C4790CFFD&displaylang=en

but will it allow the user to stop the logging off process? Say they are reading an article and just haven't touched the mouse or something for the (10 minute) idle time?
