General Software Discussion / IDEA - User timer and lock out
« on: July 03, 2009, 01:06 AM »
Hi, this may be available but I could find it. Forgive me Im a novice.
I have a couple of teenage kids and I have given them a PC each and they login to their own User Accounts. One is on Win XP the other Vista. I have the admin account on both.
They would spend 24 hrs a day on them if they could. I'm sick of manually monitoring them.
I need a simple program that restricts how much time their account can be open in a day. It would need to run hidden in the background and record a users time in every 24hr period regardless of turning on and off etc, and if that time exceeds a preset amount (adjustable depending on the day) the program locks out their account or stops any programs from running until the clock goes into a new day or they enter a password to reset the timer.
Is it possible?
Dave
