I'm planning to buy a new computer for my son by using his old Compaq
computer with the trade-in program from HP, the problem is that you must
select a computer from a limited list of computers, these computer come
with
Vista Bussines edition, and I'm thinking that maybe the parental control
feature comes only with the Home edition. I really need the parental
control
feature implemented, he is only 10 years old and I don't want the exposure
to
sex, and other dangerous websites
Some advice will be greadly appreciated
Parental controls are a feature of all Vista editions and are set up when
creating
users by the administrator.
Get you son to show you how to set them up.
What can I control with Parental Controls?
You can use Parental Controls to set limits on the hours that children can
use the computer, the types of games that they can play, the websites that
they can visit, and the programs that they can run.
a.. Set specific time limits on your children's computer use. You can set
time limits to control when children are allowed to log on to the computer.
Time limits prevent children from logging on during specified hours. You can
set different logon hours for every day of the week. If they are logged on
when their allotted time ends, they will be automatically logged off. For
more information, see Control when children can use the computer.
b.. Prevent your children from playing games you don't want them to play.
Control access to games, choose an age rating level, choose the types of
content you want to block, and decide whether you want to allow or block
specific games. For more information, see Specify which games children can
play.
c.. Set limits for how your children use the web. You can restrict the
websites that children visit, check an age rating, indicate whether you want
to allow file downloads, and set up which content you want the content
filters to block and allow. You can also block or allow specific websites.
For more information, see Limit the content that children can view on the
web.
d.. Keep your children from running specific programs. Prevent children
from running programs that you don't want them to run. For more information,
see Prevent children from using specific programs.
Once you've set up Parental Controls, you can set up activity reports to
keep a record of your child's computer activity. For more information about
activity reports, see Set up Parental Controls activity reports.
