I am in need of a program for parental control that will after a set time log off the current account and not allow logging in again until a set time. Windows built in parental control does not log the user off after the set time, and I need something that will do that.

Windows 8 will do that. I know, not a big help at the moment, but I thought you should be aware of it.

New version of Windows 8 will be released in June ... it might have the parental controls... (or it comes out with final version of Windows 8)..

if you can not wait, google for it and find the one that fits your needs.

If 3rd party app costs too much money, then ask your kid to get off the PC and you lock the account so the kid can not get in.

Why not schedule a command to logout at a certain time if the user is logged in.

Something like
If "%username%"=="john doe" goto logoff
:logoff
Shutdown /l /t:0

This is just going off the top of my head right now.

I think the parental controls that you can install as part of the Windows Live Essentials (2011) package might do that.

Child Control 2011 does that and more.

This seems a kind of time logging control software. You can try some family security software.

Do you have kids? Do you have a computer? If you have both, I sure your heart will be full of trouble. Because when your kids are using a PC, you're probably worried about parental software and how much time they spend, and what kind of games they're playing. Check our site for more details.
