logon options

[Guest]

I am wondering if it is possible to restrict the hours of log in or the lenght of time for logged in sessions in windows xp pro
for example, I have a 9 year old son and would like to restrict the computer in his room so that he can only log in during certain hours and then only for so long. If it is not possible with windows xp pro then which os is it available in? Do you have any other suggestions on how to accomplish this task - 3rd party software or what not? Thanks in advance to your help. Please e-mail me if you have any ideas (e-mail address removed)

You can only set time restrictions for local user accounts from the command
line.

Open a command prompt and type the following for the syntax:
net help user |more
