Setting user account login time restrictions

[Jay Roughton]

Is it not possible to restrict user login times under
Windows XP Home? I have kids that I want to force to
logoff after a certain time.

Hi Jay,

I don't remember any good and easy way to do this kind of things... My
advice to you would be to look in buying some 3rd party tools (go to
[url]www.google.com[/url] and look for Parental Control).

Situation: You want to restrict the logon days / times of a user
account in XP and are a standalone machine.

Reason: You may wish to restrict teens who arrive home before adult
supervision from accessing your broadband always on connection, limit
employees to only work hours access etc..

Steps:
To Set 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: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.
