Running WindowsXP Home SP2 NTFS. Our daughter's computer is in her room.
She is now grounded from her computer for a week. She is a restricted user.
Is there not a way to lock her out? Temporarily disable her account? The
lock feature of XP (non domain) is generally useless. Yes, it can lock a
user's desktop, but I want to lock the PC where only an admin user can unlock
it. No, I do not want to delete the account and probably lose all it's
settings even after recreating using the same name.
Why can't any other account be turned off like the guest account can be
turned on and off?
For now, I've changed her password, but this seems to be a not-so-good
solution to a problem that has to come up often this day in age when
practically every kid has a PC in their room.
Furthermore, Microsoft should implement an allowed schedule of hours for
restricted users that can be managed by an admin user ... like found in
domain configurations, but at the PC level ... i.e. at 8:00 pm, she is
forcibly logged off and not allowed back on until 6:00 pm.
Thanks in advance
