How can i limit myself to 1hour a day on my laptop?

1. i don't get why you would do that

2. i have a feeling it's for you children

3. try searching for timers

4. if it's a desktop just get a electrical timer for that wall jack and set it.

Hi Z Uh Yea lots of us need 2 do that. Im often on & off all day. Set the watch alarm & get up, exercise, shake out arms & hands, shoulders. Do some distant vision thing every 30 minutes. My 2 do list is used to get all things done. Set up & plan time so U can do this.

An anonymous reader’s son plays games on his computer all day, neglecting his studies. He wants to impose some restriction on his son’s PC usage, so that he could concentrate more in his studies.

Well, there are lots of paid software available, but I hardly know any freeware which can restrict access to your PC. Inorder to effectively restrict access to your PC for based on timings; you can make use of NET USER command with the following syntax

net user username /times:{day[-day][,day[-day]] ,time[-time][,time[-time]] [;…] | all}

Some Examples:

net user pekata Hero/time:M-F,08:00-17:00

net user pekata Hero/time:M-F,8am-5pm

net user pekata Hero/time:M,4am-5pm;T,1pm-3pm;W-F,8:00-17:00

net user pekata Hero/time:all (this allows user to logon at any time, on any day)

How to?

1. Go to command prompt from Start > Run and type “cmd” (without quotes)

2. Type any one of the appropriate net user command to restrict the user

3. Type “exit” (without quotes)

Note: The time is limited to one hour increment, which means you can only restrict the user by one-one hour (like 13:00, 16:00, not 13:30 or 16:45). You can use the abbreviation for the day (that is, M,T,W,Th,F,Sa,Su)

you could download a "reminder" utility to pop-up and tell you to get off your computer

YOU THIS FOR ONE HOUR...... AND SWITCH IT OFF
