Time For Bed !!

Time For Bed !! is a parental control program. With it you can schedule Windows 95 or Windows 98 to shut down at a particular time of the evening. You can choose to exclude certain days of the week, and choose different auto-shutdown times for each day. Valid times are 19:30 to 22:30 inclusive, or any half hour increment in between. If the child doesn't pay attention to the parent, it will pay attention to the PC! When Time For Bed !! shuts down Windows, it delivers an unambiguous message as the normal shutdown screen is replaced with this one:

Are there any PCs that Time For Bed !! should not be installed on ... ?

Time For Bed !! should not be installed to the following:

Workplace PCs

Home PCs running critical applications, or loading critical data

CD / DVD / Optical disk writing PCs

When Time For Bed !! shuts down Windows it does so without warning, or a chance to save data. This is meant to be scary to a child attempting to game past an appointed hour. No damage to the operating system results from an auto-shutdown like this, but Humblesoft cannot guarantee that every possible live running application will be unaffected even though extensive testing has suggested otherwise. Common sense dictates that you should not be using Time For Bed !! on a PC that is running Office type applications that load/edit important documents.

Time For Bed !! has a periodic "polling" action much like a screen saver. It is therefore not recommended to install it to a machine that has a CD /DVD /Optical disk writer, where continuous data streaming is vital.
