21. WINDOWS 7 CONTROL PANEL - 4


Continue Reading...

When the Block or allow specific programs window opens click on (user name) can only use the programs I allow button. It will take a minute for all the programs to load in the box below.
When the program list is populated scroll through the list with the down arrow on the right of the box and check the box next to each program the user will be allowed to use. After you have finished checking the programs click OK to return to Parental Controls or if no changes were made click Cancel.
Now reopen the control panel. Click on the Personalization link.
Notice the links in this window look familiar. We have already covered these in the Windows 7 Desktop Tutorial. This is just another way to get to the same options. Please feel free to click each link to see if you recognize the windows
When you are finished exploring the Personalization window click the back arrow in the upper left corner to return to the control panel.
Click on the devices and printers link in the main control panel window. Printers have never been one of my favorite topics. There are so many different brands and types of printers, and they all install and work differently. The best advice I can give you is to follow the instructions that came with your printer for easy installation.
The Printers Window will open. This window gives you all the information you need to know about the printers and devices you currently have installed on your computer. This window will provide a list of each device or printer. To get more information on any item in the list double click to open the properties window for that item.
The Printers Window will tell you the name of your printer. When you place your mouse over a printer if there is any number other than 0 in the documents column or under the printer name there are print jobs that are either in the process of being printed or are stuck in the print queue.
Double click on one of your printers to view the window with the list of print jobs and options to change print settings.
If you are having printer trouble this is the window you need to be in to see what is going on. Most of the time you have a print job stuck in the queue and it needs to be deleted before you can print another document or re-print the current document.
To delete a document out of the print queue click on see what is printing then click the print job to select it and press the delete key on your keyboard. Sometimes you are able to restart the print job to make it work. To restart a print job you select the print job you want and click document in the top tool bar. Then click restart.
Click the x in the upper right corner to return to the Printers window.
