JoeD Prowler Junkie Posts: 180 From: Lawrenceville, GA Registered: SEP 2001	posted 01-22-2003 04:32 AM Cannot control my teens time gaming online with new PC. He's doped-up, seems to be spending more time with those bytes than anything else. He is to the point of loosing interest in other healthy activities. Can I limit accessibility times/days of specific users in XP (or use of particular applications)? Did homework in MS discussion groups. Seems possible, but my many attempts were not successfull. Any suggestions? Thanx in advance. JoeD

Judy - I used that approach when my partner was hooked on day trading a couple of years ago! I should have done it a couple of hunderd thousand dollars sooner.

PC is totally useless unless they have it. If he wants to play games, fine, you have to logon for him. Oh yeah, and don't give him the bios password or let him watch you logon.

Step 1 - Unplug the computer and open the case. Step 2 - Remove the battery on the motherboard. Step 3 - Wait a minute and replace battery. Step 4 - Reboot computer. One downfall to this is that you will know that the password has been deleted (reset). Best bet is to go with some time-management software and give a reasonable amount of time for usage. ------------------ 1999 Red Prowler
