Question about shutting down any program

Hi Everyone.
Is there any way or software that will allow me to set a period of time in which any program is available to run?

My daughter is spending too much time in the internet and I'm looking for a way the set the starting and ending times for the Internet Explorer.

Let's say she can start using it from 5pm until 7pm on Saturdays only.

Is this possible? Any help is really apreciated.

Windows XP is my OS.

Do you have a linksys router? If you do you can limit the times the internet is available to any given ip or mac address. HTH

Thanks Nova. This seems like a good program and i'll give it a try.

Ok, ok........you're right. I'll give her three hours of internet as long as she's done her daily homework (she's only 15, you know).

sgtspector, I do have a linksys router and I'll also see how does that work.

Thank you both.
