I'd use a batchfile and schedule it to run at whatever time you desire.
If this is in a work environment, I'd talk to the boss. Create an "appropriate use" policy for the PC's and the network. List all things illegal and then the things that are not allowed like downloading illegal files and music, playing music across the network etc. Then have all users sign the policy and fire the first one you can't ignoring the policy. Make an example out of one, the rest should toe the line.
It's been my experience in a work environment people begin to look at that work PC as their own property. It's not. It belongs to the company and they have the right to say how it's going to be used. That's why so many companies have appropriate use policies in place for the PC's and the network. You should look at doing this yourself.
