    How can I force a dialup internet connection to disconnect (regardless of active/inactive) after certain number of minutes?

    If possible, is it possible to apply to only certain users?

    No, not without any 3rd party software as far as I know.

    And no, I don't know any 3rd party software that lets you do this, mayne someone else does.

    I have no experience with any of this either but there seems to be plenty of programs out there according to my Google Search Results.

    Sorry for the late reply.

    Hmm. I guess I wouldn't spend my money on some third party product just to get this done.

    Thanks for the help anyway.

    In response to this thread, I found a solution that does exactly what I wanted to do.

    I'm posting it here should anyone needs to use it in future.

    Cheers ;)

    Edit: Opss, I overlooked something. This applies to all user account. Unless I can find a way to run the scheduled task only for a particular account, I guess it is not the full solution to the post.

    Edit2: Alright. With a simple batch script, it can still be accompanished.

    Here's the code for those who wants to know a little more.
    Code:
    @echo off
    IF /I %USERNAME%==yourusername (
       rundll32 iedkcs32.dll,CloseRASConnections
    ) ELSE (
       echo Not affected...
    )
    Replace yourusername with the username you want the batch script to execute on.
