I am sharing my computer with a couple people. I have a setup so after the connection is idle for 30 minutes it disconnects. When it disconnects, it pops up a box, "Your connection has been idle for 30 min, Do you want to disconnect?", and if there is no response, it disconnects. That is what I want. But, in the box there is a checkbox with an option to disable this feature (stop disconnecting after idle for 30 min) and somebody keeps disabling this feature. My question is, how do I stop other people from disabling this feature so that they can't change the setting? I want the computer to disconnect if idle for 30 min, and I don't want people diabling it. Is there a way so people can't change my settings without a password? Sorry for the long question, and thank you in advance.
