Can you tell me if the ability exists to restrict a Limited User to specific
times of the day for network access? I want to restrict my children from
internet/web account access (or logon/logoff restrictions) after midnight and
before 9AM. Hardware (modem, I have dialup) or software will work for me.
 
Hi Doug,

Suggestions and added information:

Restrict User Logon Hours

For Pro: Click Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC Go to Computer
Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policies, Security
Options. In the right pane, locate the entry for Network Security: Force
logoff when logon hours expire.

Examples of setting the logon hours would be: You can set them for 24 hours

Or go to Start/Run/CMD and type in: (use as an example and modify)

net user kelly /time:M-F,08:00-17:00
net user kelly /time:M-F,8am-5pm
net user kelly /time:M,4am-5pm;T,1pm-3pm;W-F,8:00-17:00

To cancel and/or clear: Go to Start/Run/CMD and type in: (Use as an
example) net user Kelly /time:all

Start/Run/GPEDIT/User restrictions. These things can only be changed from
Admin accounts and apply to all user profiles. GPEDIT.MSC is not available
in the Home Edition of Windows XP.

1. Go to Windows Explorer/Document & Settings
2. All Users". Click on Start Menu/Programs and locate the short cut to that
program.
3. Do the same under "specific username" (the username that you want to
anable to individually use the program.
4. Now "Copy" the shortcut from All Users/Start Menu/Programs to
"username"/Start Menu/Programs.
5. Once the copy process is over, delete the shortcut from All Users (this
is just a safety precaution, you can also right click/drag&drop/move).
