window xp pro help

cbr900son · 12-25-2004, 11:07 PM

I have windows xp pro and have seperate logon access for the kids but was wondering if there is any way to limit the time they are on the computer?

Not sure if there's a time limit feature, but I think you can designate specific hours when a particular user can login.

Not sure how exactly it's done, try searching microsoft's knowledge base.

this might work

net user test /time:M-F,08:00-17:00 Limits the user test to logon Monday- Friday between 8am and 5pm
net user test /time:M-F,8am-5pm The same thing can also be expressed as above using the 12 hour clock
net user test /time:M,4am-5pm;T,1pm-3pm;W-F,8:00-17:00 This shows the easiest way of setting limits that differ on multiple days.
To express Saturday and Sunday use 'sa' and 'su'.
