Kashi... if you have the sidebar enabled you can download a gadget that will
do this.

http://gallery.live.com/results.aspx?bt=1&q=shutdown

It is called "AutoShutdown" ... I have not tried it fully so you are on your
own with it..

It is? Since when?

Use the Windows Scheduler to launch shutdown with the appropriate
command line options every minute between 12am and 6am, for example, to
both shut down the system and prevent the kids from firing it up again.

Don't forget to password the BIOS, and make sure they don't have
administrator rights, otherwise they'll bypass this in a few seconds.

I haven't tried it myself... but you might try using Task Scheduler to run
shutdown.exe. Open a cmd prompt and type "shutdown /?" which will show you
all of the switches (and there are -quite- a few) for shutdown.exe. Then
open task scheduler, create a new task, point the action to shutdown.exe and
add whichever switches to the "Add arguements" box.

You might want to let the task run whether someone's logged on or not, and
let it run with highest priviledges.

Again, I've not tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Let us know
how you fare.

Good luck,

Lang

Another option, that did not occur to me when I posted my reply, is that if
you're using a router, the router may have access restrictions settings that
would let you block internet access in specified time windows.
