I got 4 teens who seem to be contantly on the computer.
I'd like to limit them to 1 hour a day each... Is there a product or add on that would allow me to set up each of their limited accounts with a "timer" that would shut them down after an hour (or whatever duration I determine)? I use Windows XP home edition... |

Go to the following link:
http://www.google.com and search for "parental control software". You will get a list of many products to choose from. -- Cheryl Fischer Law/Sys Associates Houston, TX "znukman" wrote in message ...

Note that it's probably the sad truth that anything you do, they will be
able to undo better than you can. If they can't abide by the rules, take the computer away from them. It isn't a birthright. They can do their homework at the library. znukman wrote: I got 4 teens who seem to be contantly on the computer. I'd like to limit them to 1 hour a day each...

Besides, give them something to do other than computer, like things to stimulate their creativity/body: a guitar / a paint set / a bicycle / Legos / books (library) / Encyclopedia set / etc. -- " ... and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights ...

CyberPatrol does a very good job of time management, site blocking, chat
monitoring and filtering etc. "znukman" wrote in message ... I got 4 teens who seem to be contantly on the computer. I'd like to limit them to 1 hour a day each...
