[access-uk] Re: Parental control programs

"too much computer and internet gaming can have an effect on a young child."

Definitely. Let alone too much TV! No wander many of us and younger kids are 
not as good readers as we could perhaps be. Many of us don't even appreciate a 
simple evening with the family now a days. I'm not sounding like an old fool am 
I? :)

Leo's computer is a Vista machine so what you gave is relevant.

Thanks indeed for the extra info.

Cheers,
Amro

  Yes the tool can come in handy. You can also set the time period such as 6pm 
to 7pm for each evening which I have set for my kids. Windows will 
automatically log off after the period of time has expired. Yes it annoys the 
children but too much computer and internet gaming can have an effect on a 
young child. I have only tried this feature in Vista so I don't know if it 
works the same in XP. You can also set the rating of the content such as games 
in which they are allowed to play.

    Now why didn't I think of that. I've just visited the Windows knowledge 
pages and you're right, IE seams to offer a good level of protection for 
miners. I suppose I never had to worry about this in the past so it never 
occurred to me that Windows has this feature built in. Seams like a really 
basic question what I asked! Thanks Saqib.

      Can you not set up parental controls when you create a separate login ID 
for your children?

        Hi everyone,

        Yes, the kids learned how to use IE, and as responsible parents do, I 
have to parent control them now! :)

        So, does anyone know of a program that can automatically block internet 
material that is not suitable for miners? And yeah! it has to be an accessible 
program too! I don't mind paying if I can find something that can do the job.

        Thanks in anticipation,

        Amro
