How to create user login script for Windows Vista Home Premium


I would like to create a script that would allow my daughter to use the computer for a maximum of 3 hours per day during the week. I've searched the web and can't figure out how to make the User Login execute a script on Windows Vista Home Premium. I have my computer set up for 4 users.


Step by step instructions would be appreciated, pictures would be excellent.


Is there any documentation on the detailed process Windows Vista uses when logging on? (Such as which files, commands and their directories that are executed?)


Answer



Why not just use parental control? It's easy, intuitive, is built-in into Windows Vista and works like charm!


See http://www.geekgirls.com/vista_parents.htm and take a look at the section "Restricting time on the computer". You could also check out: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Control-when-children-can-use-the-computer


It allows for accounts to be limited and controlled from one or several other accounts.


If you're looking for something a bit more advanced and child-friendly, I suggest you take a look at http://www.naturehealth.eu/children-care-index.html. Works pretty well.
