Hey I'm only commenting on something you brought up in the first place...

I appreciate you're not the person actually responsible for this strange 
state of affairs but I'm still laughing at the idea of:

A: IT being unable to access a computer without the user's password
B: a remote app being so badly managed that it signs users out after two 
minutes of inactivity _but_ can still be defeated by mouse jiggling* at 
the other end

Hilarious!


Cheers


* in fairness, presuming that mouse movement is one of the factors 
you're assessing for user activity before timing them out mouse jiggling 
is probably going to be a pretty effective confounding measure
