Parental Controls

Is it possible to set up the parental controls so hat a user is allowed to do
an hour at a stretch anytime, but can't log on for an hour after that?

If it's not possible with Parental Controls can you recommend a program that
can do this?

You could try just using an alarm clock. When it goes off, just pull the
power cord out of the machine. Exercise your parenting skills, don't let
the machine take over for you.

Examine the options in the Parental Controls area. Look carefully at the
time graph. If the built-in Parental Controls will not do what you want,
Google for "parental control software".

I've never used this kind of program with my kids so I can't recommend
anything. My method of doing what you are looking for has always been to go
into the computer room and say, "It's time to get off now".
