Restrict a user accounts internet access in Windows 7

[Jokull]

I am living in a private room with my friends. I have a laptop with Windows 7 and a Virozon Fios Router which is wireless to connect the internet. My problem is that when I went outside leaving my lap behind my friends uses internet for several via my laptop Guest account. It is very irritating for me because it is my personnel laptop. So I need to restrict internet access for certain time of the guest account. How can I do this? I do not want to close the Guest account. It is not a choice for me. So any experts please help me.

I think it is not possible to restrict the internet access of the individual account. If you are in the domain environment and in the user group then it was possible to restrict. In domain you will just need to adjust the proxy server settings. Then you can apply these settings to any of the user. There is a little chance by using the parental control option in windows 7. You cannot restrict the internet access but you can block the website and programs such Internet Explorer. Without the Internet Explorer how can you browse internet if there are no other browsers installed.
