About Parental Controls

by Vincent on April 10th, 2006

The User Account Control WebLog (UACBlog) has a nice post on Windows Vista Parental Controls. I think this sort of functions are needed on every home-computer within a family!

After creating an account for Toby, Abby enables Parental Controls on Toby’s account through the Control Panel. Abby can chose to limit what Web sites Toby can visit, what programs and games Toby can use, what time he can use the computer, and she can also access a report on all of his activities. Parental Controls in Windows Vista gives parents the option of taking a more active role in their children’s safe computer use, if they so choose, and can facilitate some healthy discussions about boundaries and how to stay safe online.
