So far, all replies have referred either to internet-specific hour
restrictions via making changes on the router or links and suggestions on
searching through a search engine or forum.

1) I am interested in restricting full computer access on a per user or per
group basis; not just internet and not on a per computer or house-wide basis.
2) Searching the internet was tried before coming here and gave a few hits
that will be attempted. One site gave a way to use command prompt to
establish access hours for particular users, which may be tried. However, my
reason for coming here was not to be re-directed elsewhere, but because my
experience on these forums is that they afford me input from individuals who
have personal expertise and know-how on whatever given Microsoft subject.

Conclusion:
Please only respond if you personally have the know-how on restricting
log-in hours **for particular users or user groups** within the operating
system. Alternatively, if you know of no way, but have a program to offer,
that could work too.

Thanks,

As a parent, I would like my children to not be able to use the computers
during certain hours of the night. There are two computers: one operates on
XP; the other on Vista

I was looking through the User Account and Computer Management console to
see if there was a way to establish user or group policies that restricted
particular users or groups from having the ability to log on during certain
hours of the day. However, I had no success finding anything. Is there any
way to do this that I was not able to find? Or, would I need a separate
program to be able to make these restrictions happen?

Thanks,
Zakhary

I forgot to mention...
I am seeking someone with this know-how because I know there will be
follow-up questions that will transpire and I hope to have an easy source to
ask them and get an answer. Those other sites do not answer some questions
that I already think may come about (I'll wait to "test" it out, though).

Actually - I gave you direct links to direct answers and suggested you
Google based off those. Some of the links I gave you were even VIDEOS of
people restricting the logon times.

No one knows what you have/have not tried unless you tell them and if you
have these 'tough questions' - ask them.. Don't bother 'warning' about them.

In the end - technology will not substitute for social interaction (in this
case, parenting.) Whatever you do - if they have unrestricted physical
access for some period of time - they can undo.
