I want to limit my child's time on the computer per day. Is there
some way I can set it up so she can use it for a total of say, two
hours per day? When her time is up for the day, it will stop
executing for her. The computer needs to continue running.
Is there a way to do this in Windows XP? If not, is there software
for it?

Replace you know what by j to email
If you are trying to limit usage then it is highly likely that you also want to limit content. There is lots of control- and censorware available but software doesn't replace your responsibility as a parent. Put the computer in a common area, like the living room or somewhere there is no privacy in the use of the computer, so the child knows they will be monitored by YOU.
There is no software solution that can outdo the proclivity of idle children to undo. If you have a router, see if it has options to allow/disallow connections (usually by MAC address) at certain time; however, Windows XP lets users change their MAC address, so you might want to see if access time can be restricted by the port to which the kid's computer is connected but then you need to lockup the cable modem and router so the kid doesn't switch to another port.
Just take the computer out of the kid's room.
