Is There a way that I can set up to have the firefox browser automatically close if it sits idle for more than a specified time
its simple my mom and her boyfriend have a real bad habit of walking away from their computers leaving their browsers on and no matter how many times i tell them they need to close the browser down when their done using it unless they know they will be coming right back to it and when they know they wont be here for a day or more and to also shut down the computer but they still leave it on sometimes for days unless i happen to go into her computer room and check to see if its still running this has gotten to be so bad that our internet provider is sending us nasty emails about out internet usage.
so is there a way that we can set up the browser to automatically shut down if it sits idle for specific time that can be determined by the user

It could be that Windows is asking for the XP setup CD. I'm sure you would find a solution if you post the issue in a Windows OS forum.

Hi,
One way would be to enable or lower the value of the Put the computer to sleep option in the OS Control Panel > Power Options > Preferred plans click Change plan settings beside the currently enabled / selected plan.
your solution to my question was both helpful and not helpful it was very helpful on my computer which is a windows 7 it allowed me make some adjustment although i am for the most part really good about shutting mine down after i use it there are times that i do leave it on planning getting back to it forgetting or get caught in something else
but unfortunatly it wasn't helpful on the computer i really need to set it up on which is a windows xp home who's power options r already suppose to be set up to shut down the computer if idle for 1 hour but it never does
since posting my question i have gone through any section of help n support on that computer that pertains to it. i have also been into the microsoft support site to try and configure auto logoff n auto poweroff if computer is idle for a while but when i tried to find the files on that computer they said i needed to access to set it up don't exist and of course way at the bottom of the page is operating system this applies to and you click on it and it states for xp professional only and that the support for the xp home in this matter is no longer available on their site
