Is it not possible to restrict user login times under
Windows XP Home? I have kids that I want to force to
logoff after a certain time.

Hi Jay,

I don't remember any good and easy way to do this kind of things... My
advice to you would be to look in buying some 3rd party tools (go to
www.google.com and look for Parental Control).

Situation: You want to restrict the logon days / times of a user
account in XP and are a standalone machine.

Reason: You may wish to restrict teens who arrive home before adult
supervision from accessing your broadband always on connection, limit
employees to only work hours access etc..

Steps:
To Set restrictions:

1.. Click Start
2.. Click Run
3.. Type cmd in the run box and press enter.
4.. The following is a sample of what you would type:
net user testuser /times:M-F,5pm-9pm; Sa,6am-9pm;Su,6am-9pm

Where testuser is the local account name.

To Remove Restrictions:

1.. Click Start
2.. Click Run
3.. Type cmd in the run box and press enter.
4.. The following is a sample of what you would type:
net user testuser /times:all

Where testuser is the local account name.
