Why Access Boss is better then standard Windows time limit control tools
Probably you know that Windows NT based operating system allow you to limit time for each users. However it is only possible to limit time when users can log on. If the allowed log on time is over but user have already logged on, there is no way to force the user off. There is no way to set duration time limit and time interval is limited by 1 hour. Unlike Windows, Access Boss forces users off, has duration limits and 15-minute time slot. Some editions of Windows Vista comes with Parental Control facility, but the time interval is still limited by 1 hour.
