Internet

Windows XP Built-In Parental Control

Here’s a little tip that will let you restrict access to the Internet at preset times and in this example we’ll be imposing a ban from 9pm to 6am, Monday to Sunday. This tip is very helpfull to parents who wants to prevent their children from accessing internet during late night. But it won’t switch off the Internet if they are already online but it will stop them making a new connection during curfew time.

Go to Run on the Start menu and type ‘cmd’ (without the quotes).

This will open a DOS-type window and at the flashing prompt type the following:
net user [username] /time:M-Su,06:00-21:00Simply replace [username] with the young person’s username; days of the week are represented by the letters: M, T, W, Th, F, Sa, Su and the times should be self-explanatory so tweak as required.
