[apu95]

im pretty sure i read about this somewhere....im looking to limit one of my pc's user access times so it can be logged on from 4 pm to 8 pm. any special way to do this?

PS: if possible, can one add a little
pop up window if u try to log on at
a non-allowed time?

Theres this program

but they're not free (but can try before you buy)

You could use the net user /times command. Type net help user at a command prompt for the syntax. This will however only prevent a user from logging in at specific times, it will not log off a user.

it will not log off a user.

Not by default at least, but windows can be configured to do so.

This isn't much help now, but Longhorn will have these capabilities built into the OS as a user-friendly, calendar interface. You can have this capability now in the ways mentioned above, but it's not quite as simple as it will be someday. 🙂
