seting time restrictions on an acount

[Alan Wright]

Is there anyway to set time restrictions on a solo pc
running XP Pro? The account set up appears pretty basic
compared to NT4 and I would like to lock an account out
by time restrictions.
I apologise if this is covered elsewhere or has already
been answered, any pointers to a FAQ would be greatly
appreciated.

Steps:

To Set restrictions:

1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type cmd in the run box and press enter.

The following is a sample of what you would type:
net user testuser /times:M-F,5pm-9pm; Sa,6am-9pm;Su,6am-9pm
Where testuser is the local account name.

To Remove Restrictions:

1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type cmd in the run box and press enter.
4. The following is a sample of what you would type:

net user testuser /times:all
Where testuser is the local account name.

Note: You can only restrict when a user can log on to the system. On a stand
alone computer, there is no way, currently, to force a user to log off when
their hours expire.
