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,
