Question

At our office we have a computer (Windows XP) that anyone can use for one hour. We have the built-in parental controls enabled, so it automatically logs off after one hour. However, once the user is logged off they can just log back in and use the computer for another hour.

I'm having trouble finding software that will fix this problem. I guess the ideal situation would be for a user to get a one-time use code from reception which allows them to use the computer for one hour. Once the time is up they'd have to get another code from us to use the computer again.

Does anyone know of some software (free or paid) that would work in this situation?

Explanation / Answer

I ended up going with Antamedia Kiosk.

However, even though they say they support Windows XP (and I contacted them to ask specifically) not all the features work on XP. If you're looking for a product like this it does the trick, but beware the company (customer support has been of no help to me).
