restrict program running time
Posted by lesniak81 on May 13th, 2008


Hi,

Is there any way to specify that a particular app can't run for 2-3
hour during a day.
For instance: restrict Outlook between 11:00 am and 14:00pm.
(Windows 2003 terminal services)

Regards,
lesniak81

Run a scheduled task at 11:00 am that does two things:
- Rename outlook.exe to outlook.bad
- Use TaskKill to kill all Outlook tasks.

Brutal but effective.
