Restricting Access to Media Player, Music Match, etc. on XPPro

[DD in CT]

Now that school is starting, I wish to limit my teenagers
access to music during school nites. Playing music while
doing homework is a distraction problem!! Likewise, I
would like to be able to allow them access on weekends.
Any suggestions? (Fortunately, last year I was able to
limit Messenger thru scheduling access via my Netgear
router.)

This will help!

Thanks! Can I also use this process on my Windows 98
computer?

For 9x/ME, try this one:

Restrict Applications Users Can Run
http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/113/

You may want to prepare a long list of applications.

Thanks again!!..I will attempt when I get home. But I am
curious, why did you comment that I may want to prepare a
long list of apps?

I apologize that comment is not applicable in this case. (Only applicable if
you want to set the number of "Allowed" applications list in registry, which
is not apt in this case)

Ramesh
