I got a kid that refuses to switch the computer of at school times, leading to lateness for him and telling offs for me. Anyone recomend software to do the job for him. I got parenting software, but none turns the computer off. :helpsmile:

Are you a teacher or something? Tell him to get off. Pull the plug. You do not really need a hi-tech solution here. ;)

;) Take your Belt off.Do not use it on him.Slap it in your hand and warn him what is about to happen.

Put fear in them and they will listen.Do not need to be violent with them by spanking them.Even though there are times when that is needed.


:blink: Why the hell was this Posted in Software World?And why would somebody Post this anyways? :huh:

You tell them to clean their room, they say "no," you smack them. It&#39;s simple; it works. Don&#39;t listen to these assholes on TV with their bullshit hippy psycho babble; if they had it their way, every child would be raised in a pastel colored room with Philip Glass pumped through the speakers 24 hours a day. -Maddox (http://maddox.xmission.com/) from "Love your kids?

Will I do have some experence with kids It just that people have gone too soft. I mean he all his doing is wasting time on the computer ask him to leave. If he refuses then sternly ask him again, turn off the monitor, just make clear that his time is up. Don&#39;t just "beat around the bush".

Why not learn c++ and make that program yourself?

You know what. This (http://www.emco.is/remoteshutdown/rsdfeatures.html) and this (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317371) could help but I still think it is being lazy. (you are using WinNT based system, right?)

The computer is one of four in bedrooms. I have three other kids i have to get ready for school at the same time. I have tried all other means. I&#39;m a widower so i do it all single handed.

Put a password on the windows account and just turn the PC off. He/she won&#39;t be able to get back on until you put in the password...

Am sorry to hear that. Try taking the computer out of their rooms. Put in a room were you can easly control it. It is the easest solution to this.
