How can I put time restrictions on user accounts in windows XP? I know it can be done in other versions of Windows, but I can't find anywhere how to do it on XP ?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

What type of restrictions are you looking to put on, you can set users in a limited account and im pretty sure there is a way you can configure that too your liking.

No, not a limited account - I'm trying to stop daughter creeping downstairs after we've gone to bed and spending all night on MS-bloody-N. I know I have seen other versions of windows where you can automatically have an account disabled say between 2200-0800 so the user cannot actually log on.

When you set up IDs that's when you make a choice. You can also put a BIOS password on (its in the setup and getting there depends on your manufacturer). That way you can stop the PC booting.

Of course you could always lock your child in her bedroom.
