I need a somewhat transparent way (to user) to restrict
the hours my son can log on to our home pc. He is 16 with
a good working knowledge of PCs and a large capacity (and
desire) to hack his user settings. We are running windows
2000 professional, single PC (no longer attached to
network but PC identification still set on the workgroup
it was previously assigned to), and he is on the Power
User setting. I read a MSDN article that says you can't
restrict user hours in a workgroup environment on the
win2k environment. I tried changing the id, but computer
wouldn't log on to internet (??) so changed it back and no
problems. A.) Is there a work-around to this? (NOTE-
computer management console waaaaaaay confusing so need
good instructions if I need to work in this utility) B.)
Are there any other parents out there who have found good
ways to restrict usage aside from log on hours?
