disable a program

[drewdaman]

some might say this is a stupid question and i'm trying to be a smart a**, and when i read this tomorrow after sleeping, i might too.. but i am dead serious!

my problem is (don't laugh) that when i sit down to work at my computer, i keep wasting my time playing solitaire. i can't uninstall it because i share my computer.. and apparently i have absolutely no self control.. is there any way you can lock the program? so that i sit down at 9am, i can say do not execute this file between 9am and 3pm (so that the peoplei share my computer with can play it later- they are not as hopelessly addicted as me!) . by the way, it would have to be so that there is no way to unlock the program until the time has come to unlock, because then i would just unlock it.

i just figured i needed this when i wasted 45 minutes playing it late at night when i should have been rushing to meet a deadline! and i figured, what better place to ask than CG?

you can ignore this thread or laugh.. but i think i'm addicted to this stupid thing! either way, you can either help me.. or i'd like to think i at least got a chuckle out of some of you
