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.
