Can you lock programs?

Go to solution Solved by Guest,

You can write a batch script with the event scheduler that checks the time of day and if the games you play are open and if the program is open, it closes it. 

 

Have it run every 5~ 10 minutes

Lately I have been very poor in my productivity, especially that I need my laptop on my desk. I can't seem to focus with diverting my mind and procrastinating. Is there a way to basically lock applications from running in Windows and maybe set a timer before that can be accessible? Because none of your psychological philosophies are gonna work.

Then it's like locking up an addict's drugs but also giving him the key to unlock them.

 

A better way is to install linux so you instantly say bye bye to any games but Tux Racer.
