Rexxar Txan Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Does anyone know of freeware I could use to control computer program usage? Basically I want to block games on the computer during the week and only be able to use them on the weekends. Any suggestions?

fengor Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Use 2 different users? Software controlled access doesn really work. because you'll probably have the rights to circumvent it anyway (or give up administrator access and have somebody else install it and any programs hereafter). so all it really does is making it more difficult to start the program. You can achieve the same With using 2 different users on the machine. One that has the games installed and one that has the programs you need to work. Can you still play games with your work user? Sure, but you have to do more now than simply click an icon and the icon wont be on your screen anymore tempting you. Quote There is one rule, above all others, ...

Rexxar Txan Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 It's a good option! I'll create a new user just for games and have my wife set up a password! Thanks!!!!!
