PC TimeWatch Full Description

PC TimeWatch is a tool for managing the time that people spend on a computer and the programs they may use. While originally designed for parents wanting to limit childrens' access, it also can be useful in the workplace. It allows you to specify how much time a Windows session may be running for a given period of time. It also allows you to define time allowances for specific programs (including Internet Explorer or any other Web browser) as well as time slots outside of which the restricted program, including Windows, may not be executed.

It is not a spying program recording the user's actions during a Windows session. Beside keeping track of the use time of the monitored programs, PC TimeWatch doesn't record any user activity.

PC TimeWatch doesn't use a separate login mechanism to identify users (except for access to the PC TimeWatch Management Utility). It is based on the Windows logon. The consequence of this design choice is that it is harder to bypass the scheduling rules than with other similar programs under Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. PC TimeWatch doesn't change anything to the system or domain configuration. It is a standalone service not affecting the system settings in any way.

PC TimeWatch is based on a service and on a set of drivers. This means that you don't have to run an application permanently or to add a program to the Startup folder of the monitored users. You run the PC TimeWatch Management Utility to setup scheduling rules for each user, then you close the program and you forget it.

Unlike other similar utilities, renaming or moving an executable doesn't prevent PC TimeWatch from monitoring that program unless a new version of the executable is installed. If this happens, remove the corresponding program entry and re-create it. Installing the same version of a program, even in a different folder, doesn't cause any trouble to PC Time.
