My library specialist want to stop the kids from running the jump-start
program from 2p.m. to 3 p.m. That is only during the hour of 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
She does not want the students to logon to the jump-start program. Is there a
way to accomplish this under windows xp?

Thanks for your help!

You could use the Task Scheduler to run this batch file
at 2pm every day. It will kill the jumpstart program
after one minute or less.
@echo off
set Program=jumpstart
:again
tasklist | find /i "%Program%" || goto wait
taskkill /im "%Program%" /f
:wait
ping localhost -n 60 > nul
goto again

Set the task duration to 1 hour and tick the box under
"Advanced" to kill the task if it is still running after one
your.

Make sure to run the task under an administrative
account, not the account under which the students
log on.

If this is a WinXP Home machine then you may have
to copy tasklist.exe and taskkill.exe from a WinXP
Professional machine to the System32 folder.
 
I will try it tonight and will let you know. Thanks a million! you are heavy
duty!
