A Program To Limit Computer Usage?
Hello All,

Well, I was asked by my mother if I can find a program that will limit the amount of computer usage.

My little brother got his interim report back this semester and he is failing 2 classes because he is on his computer all the time playing online poker and chatting online.

The program I am looking for will give the user only X amount of hours specified by me. So when the computer gets turned on, it will give the user X amount of hours, and then it will turn off the system for the rest of that day.

I already know I could use the Logon Hours Config built into XP, but that only sets the times a user is allowed to sign on. I want it to allow the user to sign on whenever they want, but they only get a specified amount of hours to use the computer before it shuts down for the rest of the day.

Is there a program that will accomplish what I need it to do?

Thanks in advance.
