[access-uk] Re: Parental control programs

Ah! I see what you mean. Thanks for the clarification, Chris. The kids computer 
runs on a Vista anyway as I said so it all good and sorted. Thanks again.

Cheers,
Amro

  No. You're on about the content adviser, which is IE's built in parental 
controls feature. This only works on websites though, and not Windows itself. 
This is why I said that if you want actual parental control features, you'll 
only be able to get that under Vista or third party programmes designed to run 
under XP or earlier. Third party programmes will of course work under Vista, 
but since Vista has it built in I don't see why you should need a third party 
programme. Just my £0.02 worth, and hope that helps.

    Hi Chris,

    Are you sure? This machine is running XP and IE has parental controls. I 
haven't even upgraded to IE 7.

    Cheers,
    Amro

      Parental Controls is a new feature in Vista, so this will not apply to XP 
or earlier users.

        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.
          Cheers,
          Amro

            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
