It is? Since when?
Use the Windows Scheduler to launch shutdown with the appropriate
command line options every minute between 12am and 6am, for example, to
both shut down the system and prevent the kids from firing it up again.
Don't forget to password the BIOS, and make sure they don't have
administrator rights, otherwise they'll bypass this in a few seconds.

I haven't tried it myself... but you might try using Task Scheduler to run
shutdown.exe. Open a cmd prompt and type "shutdown /?" which will show you
all of the switches (and there are -quite- a few) for shutdown.exe. Then
open task scheduler, create a new task, point the action to shutdown.exe and
add whichever switches to the "Add arguements" box.
You might want to let the task run whether someone's logged on or not, and
let it run with highest priviledges.
Again, I've not tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Let us know
how you fare.

Another option, that did not occur to me when I posted my reply, is that if
you're using a router, the router may have access restrictions settings that
would let you block internet access in specified time windows.
- Click start
- Type: task scheduler
- press enter
- Click Action -> Import Task
- Find the shutdown.xml file you extracted and click open
- Click OK to import the task
The sample task will run every day at 1 am. It will display the
following message to all logged on users:
"The computer will turn off in a few minutes. Please save all of your
work and close all programs."
After 5 minutes, the computer will close all programs and turn itself off.
However, it does not stop the user from turning the computer back on.
You can do this using parental controls and setting what hours the user
is allowed to be logged in. In fact, I think using that method and
setting it to 'enforce hours' will remove the need for this scheduled task.

JB,
Good point... not having investigated the Parental Controls, that option did
not occur to me. Probably a better solution.

So Peter, you pride yourself in being both sarcastic and "not too nice". At
least that's a start.
