The only functionality provided by this command is that it prevents users from logging on to the computer outside of the time given. Windows Vista and Windows 7 have parental controls that will in fact boot the user off the computer however there are no warning messages at all!<br>You may want to try a product such as Piranha Designs Time Monitor which not only prevents users from logging on when you don't want them to but also limits the amount of hours they can use the computer.<br>The website is <a href="http://www.time-monitor.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.time-monitor.com</a> WinXP does not force the user off no matter how you configure the “net user” command.

It gives the kids audible reminders and logs them off when their time runs out.

You can do the "Time of Day" limits similar to the original posters example, but you can also specify a maximum "daily" amount of time, session time, and give extra time as a reward using "Time Tokens". Very easy to set up and will work across a network too so that limits are shared regardless of which PC the person uses. <br><br><a href="http://www.softwaretime.com/">http://www.softwaretime.com/</a> Came across this post/comment thread while researching competitive products.

But yes, this would probably work to restrict your brother. Even on XP Home I think.

How can I bypass this? How can I get an available command prompt during start up so that I can re enter parameter times? I know it was dumb to do, but thanks in advance.
