Modern adolescents are gradually getting used to the computer, like a child to their toys. With the advent of the Internet, parents became concerned that their child spends most of the day at the computer. Each family decides in its own way how to protect the child from "gatherings" at the computer. One of the many existing options may be installing a timer on the computer, which after a certain time turns off the computer or simply blocks access. Thus, such a limitation is similar to a computer game room, where a specific number of hours is paid.
Necessary
Stop PC software
Instructions
Step 1
When using the Stop PC program on the computer, you can achieve shutdown of the computer at a certain time or after a certain period of time. The program will not be visible to your child, the timer can be hidden. In stealth mode, the timer will not be displayed in the tray. You can disable the program using the task manager, which is invoked by pressing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Del or Ctrl + Shift + Esc.
Step 2
You can set the shutdown time using the sliders in the main program window. The 24-hour mode allows you to set any time, but you cannot set the timer for more than a day. After setting the time period, select the action to be taken at the end of the time: blocking, shutting down the computer, hibernation, disconnecting the connection to the Internet. There is also a choice of operating mode: hidden or visible.
Step 3
To add text before performing the final operation, click "Issue warning", then click "Custom text", write the text of the warning. Once you have configured the program, click "Start". Even if you chose the visible mode of the program, it will be impossible to control it. It can only be turned off by removing the process from memory. In hidden mode, after clicking on the "Start" button, the program automatically disappears from the desktop.
Step 4
For an emergency termination of the program, start the "Task Manager", find the stoppc process, click the "End Process" button.
