I found this of interest. The source is Microsoft TechNet.....
Subject: Setting Restricted Login Hours on XP Standalone System
I recently had to contact Microsoft Tech Support for assistance on this so I wanted to post the article on the web incase someone else had this same issue.
Situation: You want to restrict the logon days / times of a user account in XP and are a standalone machine.
Reason: You may wish to restrict teens who arrive home before adult supervision from accessing your broadband always on connection, limit employees to only work hours access etc..
Steps:
To Set restrictions:
Click Start
Click Run
Type cmd in the run box and press enter.
The following is a sample of what you would type:
net user testuser /times:M-F,5pm-9pm; Sa,6am-9pm;Su,6am-9pm
Where testuser is the local account name.
To Remove Restrictions:
Click Start
Click Run
Type cmd in the run box and press enter.
The following is a sample of what you would type:
net user testuser /times:all
Where testuser is the local account name.
I hope someone else finds this useful as I did.
