Interner explorer and Parental controls

[Guest]

I upgraded from XP to Vista. When I turn the parental controls on my
daughter's account, Internet Explorer stops working.

Check the 'Vista Web Filter Settings'. You may be blocking all websites.

I checked the 'Vista Web Filters" and they are set at Medium. I've had to
disable Parental Controls simply because IE just refuses to launch.

I know it might sound a little stupid but did you have it block all programs?
Was it set to {user} can use all programs or {user} can only use the programs
I allow?

Internet explorer is a program and if you didn't have it checked off that
they can use it, it's not gonna work.

It was set ot {user} can use all programs. IE simply will not work If I try
to turn on parental controls. I'm getting a MAC!

Vista's parental controls are a joke. They are very weak and very
limited in what they can do, but then I guess you shouldn't expect
much for free.

If you're serious about parental controls spend a few bucks and buy a
good third party parental control. I use a program called PC Chaperone
(http://www.pc-chaperone.com). It is easy to use and has more features
then you will ever need, in fact more then any other program I've
tested. In a side-by-side comparison it blows the Vista parental
controls away.
