I Blocked the kids from downloading because of the virus's and I dont know
how to change it now. I want to install a tracker and it will not let me
download it under the kids user names. It is downloaded to mine but it wont
cover all users. How do I change this long enough to install it? And I know
I have a password but I do not remember it how do I retrieve it? Thanks for
your help.

Run the installer in the children's account, but modify the properties to
run
as Administrator. Right Click the Installer, Properties, Run As....

For lost/forgotten passwords you can boot to Safe Mode, login as the
Administrator and make changes ( not recover ). Or use a Bootable tool
to reset or Null out any account's existing password.

Just blocking downloads is one of many ways "Baddies" get on your PC.
Attachments from email, 'Drive-by-Installs' and many others can also
expose the PC. Children are VERY computer savvy. Almost anything
done to restrict or constrain PC use can usually be overridden by them
without much effort.

Duh, my bad. Make the change yourself: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones\3\1803

Set to 0.

Ok I did all that I got to internet settings and that was as far as it would
go. I went in under the kids user names and tried downloading again and it
says you need to be logged in as an administrator. How do I do that? I wish I
knew something about computers!!! Thank You

Isn't that what you wanted to start with?

You want to be able to download.
You don't want the other users to download.

If the above is correct, all is well.
