Greetings...

Have a question...looking for a windows XP feature that
allows me to do this or a 3rd party program software that
I can install to help me.

I have 4 children at varying ages...5 computers. All the
systems have XP Home...mine has XP Pro. We don't use AOL
or MSN around here. The rest is part of the problem.

All of the kids have limits on the computers but they
don't necessarily listen and I have to sit and ride
shotgun on them. When my wife and I are out for the
evening or have to work late, there's more problems on
the computers...no one sticks to there time limits or
schedules.

I'm hoping that there is a program or WIN XP feature that
will allow me to do the following:

     + assign a 1-2 hour limit per day per kid...they
would log on and their time would countdown. At the end
of the time they would have to log off or get kicked
off. They would not be able to log on until the next
day...or...
     + assign a specific time of day per child...Ashley
would be allowed to get on her computer from 4-6 PM...and
either log off or get kicked off...
     + parental control (with password protection) to
over-ride the assigned time and give an extension to the
currently assigned time...

I was hoping that this PARENTAL CONTROL OPTION could be
expanded in the WIN XP area of USER ACCOUNTS in the
CONTROL PANEL when you assign them an account. Let
me know what you think. I'm anxiously awaiting an answer.
