  hmmm... i thought comps come with that? you could also try PCTimeManager, allows you to make daily configurations and stuff. 

   

  or you could just always use a cane... =D

  hope that ur child dont have a computer geek in the class

  imagine he got admin rights and delete the installation folder or the registries, or disable it from starting up

  or even a full reformat

  Hi, my son is the adminstrator of his comp.  Does that mean it is of no use installing the PCTime manager?
