More security and user restricting in windows.

[P_A_N_I_C]

hiho

i'm tryting to help out a friend with his search for some info. basically this is his request:

-------

Is there any way for me to password protect a computer with multiple users even when booting in safe mode? i know it has password protection, and i know how to do it, but i was wondering if there was a different way...

need this for XP...
and also need it for ME (blows, i know, dont worry about it)

also is there any way to set a time limit for a computer user? one that will log off at a certain time, and you cant log on until it allows you too?

lets say, it will log off at 12:00 a.m. and it will allow someone to logon at 8:00 a.m. and you can access if with a password if needed...

i know you can do it with net user in cmd on a network, but i dont know how to do it locally on one machine...

--------


so anyone familiar with this kind of stuff at all?

afaik this is not possible through windows (maybe win server?)
but 3rd party software recommendations is very much welcome.

thanks
