Restricting Time For Using The Computer

By clicking on the Time Limits link on the main Parental Controls console, you will bring up a grid window like the one displayed here.

Some parents may want to control how much time their child spends playing computer games, or may want to ensure that the child is not going online in the middle of the night without the parents' knowledge. If you want to restrict a user account so that it can only use the computer during certain timeframes, you can define the Blocked or Allowed timeframes here.

Simply fill in the blocks with the Allowed or Blocked timeframes and click OK.
