In this tutorial i will show you how to set your Mac to auto logout after certain time, this is useful if you wanted to go out but can't close your Mac now.

1st Go to "System Preferences" then go to the Security Pane. There you will find a check box " Log out after ..." you might need to click the padlock to be able to change the settings.

enjoy
