How can you limit computer access?
our son uses his machine too much and we would like to impose a 1-hour
daily limit. we use window xp professional edition.
can this be done?
we thought of assigning him a log-in password which would not be
shared with him. in other words, we have to log him in and then time
him. is there an easier way?

what about setting a 1 hour max (that could be used multiple ways, for
example 5 minutes here and there)? specifying a 5-8 pm time range may
give my kid the full 3 hours. is there a way to log minute by minute
and then actually kick the user out when the time allotment is used
up?
thanks, s

hi
here's a website telling u how to restrict users from logging on at
odd time , like for instance you do not want u child to access
internet as soon as he gets home from school. heres the link

Hello,

Install some software to bar him. That is the simplest you can do. Try
something like Timewatcher - www.timewatcher.de

Peace!

combine this with the net time solution given by the other guy

go to start --> control panel --> administrative tools --> local security policy

navigate to security settings\local policies\security options

look for the value network security: force logoff when logon hours expire

change the setting to enabled
