Experience Windows Vista's new parental control features

With parental controls, users can help manage the way children use computers. For example, you can limit your child's access to a Web site, the length of time you can log on to your computer, the games you can play, and the programs that you can run. For example, when parental controls prevent access to a Web page or game, a notification statement is displayed that has blocked the page or program. The child can click a link in the notification to request access to the Web page or program. You can allow access by entering account information. (for the author, fortunately, "Microsoft" in "Windows 3.1 and Windows95" did not join this function, or I am afraid I will lose a lot of happiness).

After we have a more in-depth understanding of "parental control", I suddenly feel that for domestic children, this function will become "child control".

"Parental Control" interface. This user can make detailed settings.

Parents can set how long the system for you to read the activity of the report reminders, and then always grasp the child in front of the computer "trends."

Before you begin, make sure that the child you are setting up Parental control has a standard user account because Parental Controls apply only to standard user accounts and not to administrator user accounts. The user also needs an administrator user account.

Note: Parental controls can only be used on NTFS-formatted partitions.

Open Parental Controls. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or provide confirmation. Click the standard user account for which you want to set parental controls. Under Parental Controls, click Enable.

When a child's standard user account is enabled for parental control, the user can adjust the personal settings to be controlled.
