Set time limits for kids on computer

by kjcssk May 5, 2006 5:24PM PDT

I have checked a few of the posts regarding this, however I can;t seem to find what I need.

I would like to find a program that allows me to set the amount of time my kids can be on the computer. I want to give them an hour a day during the school week and 2.5 hours a day on the weekends. A lot of the programs only allow you to set time parameters (ie 4:00pm - 5:00pm).

I've tried a few of the ones suggested throughout the forum (Access Boss, ContentProtect, Child Control 2006) and can't seem to get them to work properly. I would also like to find one with internet filtering instead of using ANOTHER program (NetNanny).

If needed:
ASUS A8N-SLI mobo
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200
Geforce 7600GT Video card
2 GB Patriot Ram

If you are using Windows XP.......

then XP itself can help you set time limits.

Have a look at this site for guidance;

You can set daily time limits, and even different times for different days.

I hope it helps.
