Ok, I asked this question a while back and no one was able to answer so here's your chance to look smart in front of the entire Internet...

I have an XP box which is used by multiple people because of some specific hardware attached to it. Everyone uses remote desktop to hit it and from time to time people forget to log off and some people like to kick others off thinking their sessions might be idle.

Are there any options for remote desktop in XP similar to 2K Server where you can force logoff users after a specific time period from when they disconnected? Or really any other type of configuration options than what is plainly obvious. HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Remote Desktop doesn't have anything that looks interesting in it.

gpedit.msc -> Local -> Administrative -> Windows -> Terminal Services -> Sessions

Set time limit for ... disconnected sessions, active sessions, idle sessions ... terminate when time limits are reached ...
