>>Hi.
>>I'm looking for some software to limit the use of a pc to a certain no. of hours during the day. (Os is Win 98).
>>This is needed as a way of preventing prolonged use by my children... when they should be out playing football ,tennis,golf or some other worthwhile activity.
>>
>>If there is not something 'simple' already there, I would look forward to the challenge of seeing if VFP could do this.
>>(I an aware of Net Nanny which seems to be internet related but could find no details on a pc nanny !!
>>
>>The VFP program would need to:
>>1. On machine startup,create or Update todays file with current time
>>2. Stay running and monitor current time
>>3. If Time switched on is > Time Limit, either keep issuing a warning or shut the computer off
>>4. The VFP running program should not be immedaitely evident. (in case the user terminates the VFP program)
>>
>>Any comments on this would be appreciated !!

>>Regards,
