I am a home user. We have one PC in the house, running Windows XP Pro SP2. I
have 2 kids that like to surf the net too much. Right now there is only 1
user account which everyone uses. I want to setup separate accounts for my 2
sons but with time-limits for their logons, or is there a way to restrict
internet access after a certain period of time has elapsed (we have a
broadband connection).

Is any of the above possible. I know it can be done in NT4 or Windows
Server, but how is a standard installation of Win XP Pro able to do this?

Many thanks for any replies.

Lots of various ways to do such things but here's an easy free way that you
might find offers you what you're looking for and a whole lot more:

By no means is this a substitute for observation but it's a decent start
towards maintaining a safer environment for children online.
