IE 5 as Shell + Timeout

I've been working on a build for our public-access computers that uses
Internet Explorer 5 as the shell.
I like the results, but am faced with 2 troubles:
(1) In the past we used Windows' native screen saver feature to
execute a timeout that send the patron back to the home page, closes all
open windows, and cleans up cookies and Netscape's prefs.js file. When
running IE as the shell the screen saver approach doesn't work.
(2) There's no place to clean up large or repetitive items in the
print cue when IE is running as the shell.
Any ideas? Any arguments for dropping the whole shell approach?
Thanks.
