Hello IT specialists of Daniweb,
I have a computer at home and I want to limit the time for my siblings in accessing my computer. For example, From the time 8pm to 12am, they can't access my computer.
If I will create a new account for them, the problem won't solve because they can access it at anytime.
Is there a way for windows XP to done that? Or I have to install a software for it.
Thanks for helping,
Jovy
If you are running XP Pro. you can use the net command to activate login restrictions.
From an administrator account:
1) Click the Start menu and choose Run.
2) type in cmd in the dialog that opens.
3) In the command window, type net user SiblingsAccount /time:M-F,00:00-20:00
This will limit the user SiblinsAcount to only be allowed to login during the hours listed (Midnight-8PM). You can have different times based on the day by using something like
net user SiblingsAccount /time:M-F,00:00-20:00;SA-SU,all
this will all login all day Saturday and Sunday and back to the Midnight-8PM on weekdays.
To remove all restrictions use the command net user SinlingsAccount /time:all
Hope this helps.
