Task Scheduler Wont run program because Vista won't idle

I want to automatically log off user after idle for 10 minutes. The problem
appears to be that Vista won't go into an idle state. Lots of stuff running
in background, and even my time clock on desktop I suppose keeps the PC from
not idling.

Any help is appreciated.

Could you translate that into grammatical English please?

give a try to http://www.murgee.com/screensaver/ , it does have the option
to log off signed on user
the above will work provided, screensaver is launched after defined time
when computer is left idle

disabling startup programs / disabling wireless mouse are the things you can
give a try

Is there really such a need ?
Even if not correct, there is no need to translate.
