ActiveExit™ is a system utility that can automatically log off users from their accounts after a period of inactivity. If you are a system administrator and users of your network often forget to log off before leaving, ActiveExit can save you quite a bit of the nerve cells. Even if the user has locked the computer, ActiveExit can log the user off after the idle period you specify, without your intervention.
ActiveExit™ was designed to do one thing, but do it well: automatically log off Windows users after a period of their inactivity. With ActiveExit, you can:
-
Log off the inactive users automatically - When you enable ActiveExit, it starts to monitor the user activity (keyboard and mouse). If no user activity has been detected during the time interval of your choosing, ActiveExit will display a message to the user (for the duration of your choosing, too). If no user activity detected after that, ActiveExit will forcefully log-off that user from Windows.
-
Log off the inactive users even if they locked their screens - ActiveExit will log off an inactive user even if the user has locked the screen before leaving. (The administrator will no longer have to unlock the screen manually each time it happens).
-
Log off the inactive users even if they set up custom screen savers - Unlike WINEXIT and other similar software utilities, ActiveExit does not replace the screensaver of the user with it's own. If fact, ActiveExit does not depend on the Windows screensaver functionality at all.
-
Log off the inactive users even if they use the Remote Desktop Connection - ActiveExit can log off the inactive users who connect to the server remotely, via the Remote Desktop.
-
Log off the inactive users even if they have unsaved changes - This is a powerful feature of ActiveExit that you should consider carefully. Normally, if a user attempts to log off while there are unsaved changes to the documents, Windows prompts the user to save the changes before logging off. With ActiveExit, the automatic log off happens unconditionally, even if there are changes still unsaved by the user. The unsaved changes, if any, will be lost and the user will be logged off.
What's new in this version of ActiveExit
This is a complete rewrite of the ActiveExit software. If you've used an older version of ActiveExit, and are considering an upgrade, you may want to review the rest of this User's Guide to see what ActiveExit is now. You will notice many differences: we've simplified the user interface and removed many secondary functions (such as the allowed use schedule, the password protection, the taskbar icon, and so on). Instead, we've concentrated on making ActiveExit do just one task, but do it well: automatically logoff the users after a period of inactivity. Give the new ActiveExit a try!
