Shutting down Windows XP when no users are logged on

We have a lot of student computers running Windows XP (managed by ZfD 7). When the students have finished using the computers they tend to just log off leaving the computers running on full power (often over nights or weekends) instead of shutting them down. But with a little tweaking it is possible to shut down the computer if no user has been logged on for 10 minutes. We also do weekly automated ZEN imaging and the tweak is also a great way to close the computers after the imaging schedule.
