Bug in "net user xxx /time: xxxx" command in Windows XP Home Edition?

[RC]

I start the Help search for "logon hours"

I clicked "Microsoft network server: Disconnect clients
when logon hours expire".

I clicked "Network security: Force logoff when logon hours expire"

I enable both of these features. But I can't set number of
logon hours for my teenager daughter. It doesn't explain how
to set the logon hours!!!

I clicked Net user

So I set my teenager daughter login, restrict her login between
14:00 - 21:00

net user her_login_id /time:M-F,14:00-21:00;Sa-Su,10:00-21:00

That is great! she can only login during those hours.
But the PROBLEM is if she login 20:30, by the time
21:05, she still logging in!! The Windows XP system won't
auto logoff her!!!!

Please help, teach me how to set the logon hours
and auto logoff.

Thank you very much in advance!!

P.S. Each night my wife has to yelling and screamming to
her, "Go to bed ..."!!

I went to download.com searched for "Parental".
Downloaded some trial versin software, so far none
of them I like. They either won't work as they claim or
too complicate to set up (user unfriendly).

In addition to Carey's advice on 3rd party programs, the logon hours in XP does not force a logoff of the local machine, just network resources that are controlled by a domain controller.
