To switch to another account on the computer and make the same changes or create a new account you would click the Manage Another Account link.
Click on the Create new account link. Enter the User's name and select what type of user you would like them to be then click Create New Account.
If you did not create a new account click cancel to return to the Manage Accounts Window.
Now we will move onto Parental Controls. Having 2 small children this is one of my favorite features of Windows 7. Parental Controls helps you to manage you children's computer usage, set limits on access to the web, the hours they can log on to the computer, and which games they can play. Click on the setup Parental controls link at the bottom of the window.
When the Parental Control Window Opens Click on a user that is not an administrator.
In the Parental Control Setup Window Click On, enforce current settings under Parental Controls. This will allow changes to be made to the three options under Window Settings.
The links that are currently off in the sample will take you to the same location at the Windows Setting links. They are just to let you know what controls have been set.


Click on Time limits. In the time limit window click on blocks of time in the grid to block the selected user from logging onto the computer during the set times.
Click OK to save the changes or cancel to discard and return to the parental control window.


Under Windows Settings click Games. Click the Set game ratings link.
The Windows 7 Games window allows the parent to either allow or block any games from being played, block games with a specific rating, and block games by a specific name.
To block any games from being played click the no button under Can (user Name) play games?
If the user is allowed to play games but you want to control the rating click Set games ratings under Block (or allow) games by rating or content.
The first selection you can make is to allow or block games that do not have a rating. Click either Allow games with no rating or Block games with no rating. Then read each rating under Which ratings are ok for (user name) to play? Then choose the types of games the user will be allowed to play. The selection you choose and everything above it will be allowed. If the Rating is below what you selected that game will be blocked from play.
Use the scroll bar to move down the window to see more options to block games containing certain content. Scroll down through the list and place a check mark on any content you would like to block. Any game containing a marked content will be blocked regardless of the rating.
Click OK if you made any changes or Cancel to return to the Parental Control Game settings and OK again to return to the main Parental Control window.
The last option is allow and block specific programs. Click on Block or Allow specific programs link.
