    Since you have Pro, you can do it with a GPO, that for the particular user, you can limit their login time by time of day allowed to log into the computer, and how long.

    - Limit Internet Surfing, chatting and game playing to a time and duration you are comfortable with.

    - Control when your children can use their computer, their activities and the amount of time spent on the computer.

    - Limitwhat programs your children can use, when they use them, and the time they spend using them.

    - Be in charge of the Internet and control when your children are online, the time they spend online and the web sites they visit.

    - View the web sites your child visits, the programs they use and when they were active on the computer. Have these reports emailed to you (Windows XP or 2000 only) on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

    - Automatically log your child out of their computer when it‘s time for lights out.

    - Lock down the computer to prevent your child from pirating music or installing inappropriate software.

    - Block younger siblings from gaining access to the Internet.

    - Easily share computer time among siblings.

    GPO = Group Policy Object
    Sample options for IE

    It is a very powerful but dangerious tool, so if you make any changes DO write the locations down.


    Also if you use a router check its settings as you can restrict internet access with there settings.
