How to use Parental Controls in windows 7

April 1st, 2009

You can use Parental Controls to help manage how your children use the computer. For example, you can set limits on the hours that your children can use the computer, the types of games they can play, and the programs they can run.

When Parental Controls blocks access to a game or program, a notification is displayed that the program has been blocked. Your child can click a link in the notification to request permission for access to that game or program. You can allow access by entering your account information.

To set up Parental Controls for your child, you’ll need your own administrator user account. Before you get started, make sure each child that you want to set up Parental Controls for has a standard user account. Parental Controls can be applied only to standard user accounts.

To turn on the parental controls in windows 7 :

    Great new feature of windows 7

  2. This is very informative. I would like to say that parental controls are useful not only for windows and mac machines but also for smart phones. Phones such as the Android, Blackberry and iPhones are very controllable from a parents perspective.
    This site – cell phone spy software has a lot of information on all links of parental controls both free and paid versions.
