Removal of menu bar here - is the first option available to you? If not try...... Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced Delete AlwaysShowMenus, or set it to zero Delete the entry and reboot

Yeah, this is the girl who taught herself the basics of reading watching phonics videos on YouTube at 18 months old, and could basically read anything (and understand it) by the age of 3, so I'm pretty much up against it....

Perfect, thanks...... I guess it's just a case of running the net user command again to change the hours? They'll be curtailed again when she's back to school next week....

I looked at that earlier, but couldn't see which user it was applying to? Will have another look later once home.... Thanks.

Yeah, it's Pro.....

Ah, back to square one! Children are here simply to keep you on your toes and spend all your money..... looks like MS account then..,.

net user /time did the trick (and she's been reverted to a standard user).... had a look at GPE but the command line option just seemed easier..... Thanks to all.

OK, no option to restrict based on MAC on crappy Vodafone router...... onwards and upwards..... she's going back to a standard user account anyway, so will make things easier - about to look at the 'net user' option.....

Sorry guys, I'm not getting notifications of replies! Just reading through the replies now. The little sh*t is 11 years old. It's a shared computer, but myself not having access the hours I'd be restricting wouldn't affect myself. I'll look at the router option (Vodafone) first and let you...

Is there any way to enforce times my child can use the PC as it's getting totally out of hand now with school holidays (found her sound asleep in the PC chair at 6.30am this morning!) - I don't want to use MS Family Safety as I'm not using a MS account. She's currently got Admin rights to save...

Uninstall/reinstall fixed it...... now need to sort my sync folders again, but that's not too much of a hardship - thanks to everyone.

Thanks all...... so, when trying to run drive from the apps list, it just opens the explorer window showing Drive and Computers..... no way of actually getting to the interface to check/change anything..... it is running in the background - I've removed all instances with End Task and started it...

I'll check that at when I get home, thanks. I did notice Windows did a big update during the night as it was wanting me to sign in with MS account (again!) this morning....

No, nothing like that running.... I never noticed the qBittorrent either!

So, it's gone! It's marked as 'On' in other system tray icons in taskbar settings - have switched it off, restarted and turned it on again. No joy, it just refuses to show in the taskbar. It was there a couple of days ago and working fine. Ideas anyone?
