I was just curious if Windows XP Home had any features to enable limiting
amount of time any user can be on the computer, internet, or instant
messaging. If not any reccomendations as to a good prgoram to use? Thanks,

Natively and limited there is: 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
