Limiting computer use

P

Paul

I'd like to know how to configure a user account
(Windows XP Pro) which my child could use for only
a few hours a day. I'd appreciate any help you can
provide (articles or instructions).

Thanks in advance,
Paul Rubinstein

1) GO to microsoft's website adn find Help and Support
Click to expand...
and type "logon hours" (without the quotes) in the search
box.
2) Go to Full text matches and click on "Net user". See
the examples for setting a user's logon hours. Some
examples would be:

net user johnsw /time:M-F,08:00-17:00
net user johnsw /time:M-F,8am-5pm
net user marysl /time:M,4am-5pm;T,1pm-3pm;W-F,8:00-
17:00
net user johnsw /time:all (this one means this
user can always log on)

3) Open a Command Prompt window.
4) Enter the appropriate "net user" command for the user
(s) you wish to restrict access for.
