How can I automatically have users time out when idle for a time?

My old computer ran WinXP, and it was set up so that if you were idle for more than 30 minutes or so, the system would automatically log you out and the login screen would appear. You'd have to log back in - I liked that feature, but on my new computer, I can't find in XP where to set that up.

You can do the same by adding a screen saver and checking the 'on resume display welcome screen' check box.
 
Don't know how you did it in 'power options' though.
