Used ClockLock for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffSeptember 2, 2015

This extremely limited log-off application claims to boot users off their PC at a specified time, but failed to do so in our tests. ClockLock's utilitarian interface lets you schedule restricted and unrestricted access periods for selected users. You can't apply different restrictions for each user account, however, which limits its usefulness but didn't prove to be its biggest drawback. In our tests, we were able to access the PC beyond the unrestricted period. This simplistic tool is easily outclassed by more comprehensive programs to help monitor computer usage, and it's missing features to control access to specific programs and Internet sites or customize access for multiple user accounts. In the end, even the fact that it's free can't offset its faulty performance, and we suggest users pass on ClockLock.

Rubbish. Had to do a system restore
jabbampJune 1, 2007
Pros
This looked good at first. The settings looked like they would be easy to use.
Cons
I decided to press NO to changes and configure it later, but the PC shut down. When I restarted it, I could not get into windows. I would just have my desktop walpaper and nothing on it. I could not even get up the system manager. I tried rebooting in windows safe mode, but could not uninstall the program as it would not let me. In the end, I did a system restore to just before the program was installed. That did the trick. Its rubbish, look for something else.
Summary
Great product, but dated

Pros
It appears to do exactly what it says.
Cons
The darn thing will complain, and fail to install, if you have the latest version of .NET on your system. Version 1 is OK, but it fails to detect version 2!
Summary
Very useful for parents and concerned spouses.

Pros
Easy way for parents to fully control the amount of time their children spend on the web. <p>Very simple, lightweight and clean program. <p>Looks good.
Cons
Would like to see more advanced features in future releases.

Developer’s Description

By Software Developers

Restrict access and verify logged in users.

A Windows service which continually checks whether the logged-in user is authorized to use the computer at this time. If not, then it forces the user to log off and remains locked until the unrestricted interval begins.
