Using Parental Control Features In Windows 7 - Setting Time Restriction?
Jun 1, 2011
I'm trying to use the Parental Control feature on one Windows 7 machine in my home. This machine is used by two of my younger sons. Is there any way that I could use the Parental Control feature on each separate account in a sense that whenever the user logs in, the time restriction starts? As oppose to the time restriction being set at specific hours. And is there also a way that whenever the user logs out, if he still has time left, it will pause the time restriction and resume when he logs back in?
I'm trying to bypass a time restriction that has been set on a laptop, there are 3 user icons that have passwords I have no knowledge of, how can I bypass all this to get online and running, its a dell ispirion laptop?
I need to know how to make an account have a set time limit. My son has been using the computer for long periods of time, and I wanted to know if I could somehow make it so that his account could be logged on for only 2.5 hours per day. I'm using Window 7 Ultimate. I want to know if you could do this by downloading additional controls.
I have a client that wants to stream everything what's going on on his childrens computers to an tablet (IOS & ANDROID & WINDOWS) so I think a mobile website would be the right thing?I'm searching for a software packet that provides that, without letting the user know what is happening so the child doesn't notice anything
when i try to use my webcam it says "this webcam has the parental control feature enabled. please type the password to activate your webcam." i really want to take it off because ive been posting videos on Internet and it suddenly does this!
Accounts with parental controls on to enable time restrictions are beyond annoying because the require a password to install or download any update or program, and many programs require passwords to use.
How can I bypass this idiotic "feature" while still enabling time locks.
Does the installation provide flexibility on what Pro / Ultimate features are installed (or should I say enabled) above and beyond what comes standard with Home Premium? Before posting, I did some searching, and found the following link which includes screen shots. Looks like the answer is "No", at least not that I could find. I just built a PC and mainly want my Windows 7 experience to be that of Home Premium, except for just a couple of extra features I wanted. That probably doessn't sound so smart, since I paid for ultimate, but I can explain (sort of). So how different are the menu selections etc between Ultimate and Home Premium.
I've changed the setting of maximum processor state on battery from 100% to 50% to save battery. But the setting resets to default 100% time to time. I don't know why this is happening.
Is there a setting on win 7 whereby I can have it defragment without having to leave it on all the time? Also when it defragments while I am using it, it slows down a lot so that's not a good solution for me.
My ISP lmits my download to almost nothing, except for three hours in the early morning. I have a monitor in my notification area that tells how many MB I have left (this is from the ISP), and during the day with nothing running my MB slowly drops. I installed NetBalancer, to see where all the download was going, and all I can find downloading is Windows Update, and System Resources. At least for the most part that is.So my question is, Is there any way to limit Windows Update, and other Windows Systems to downloading only during those three hours? I have Windows Update setting set to only Install at 4:00am. But it still downloads during the day. So is there any thing I can do, a reg edit, or something?
Have set the correct time zone, set the date and time, and within half an hour, the time jumps ahead significantly. Time then continues jumping periodically, and date as well. Any patch available for this?
I am the sole owner and user of my laptop. When I first set it up, I established 3 'User Accounts' in the Control panel. One account - the one I would be using most frequently - I set up with 'System Administrator' privileges. The other 2 accounts are for guests, and do not have 'SysAdmin' privileges. My problem is that fairly often, I get a pop-up box that says "You require System Administrator privileges to perform this action." This happens when I am trying to make room on my remote HDD by deleting an old backup. It seems that the operating system does not recognize my 'account' - or any other account for that matter - as having "System Administrator" privileges. How can I correct this problem?

I just got a new computer with Windows 7 home premium. After it opens up,and is idle about 3 min. it go to sleep. Where would I find the setting to make the time longer before it go to sleep.
Each time I start I have to submit a password in order to get my Start Page. I use W7 and Firefox 3.6. How I can eliminate the password. I have removed all passwords from Security tab and now have nothing I can enter in that box.
I can't no longer start Windows Media Center, when I try It get out the message "can not open the program because of a software restriction policy". I have Win 7 Ultimate 64bit.It is the only program that not starts and that occurred a few days ago after installing and uninstalling some alternative such mediacenter softwares as Mediaportal and Nextpvr.I've tried everything.
1 System restore..... impossible!: Mc: 2 Malawarebytes, ComboFix, thinking of a virus nothing! 3 Uninstalling and reinstalling Windows media center .... nothing! 4 Reinstall and reuninsinstalling of Mediaportal and Nextpvr nothing! 5 Event Log does not show any event at the error msg! 6 Local Security Policy. I entered a new rule with the path to the Wmce ehshell.exe making explicit without restriction .... nothing! 7 Installing all new updates of Win 7 .... 8 Searching on the internet not much! 9 Lourdes or a miracle?
I have Windows 7 64-bit and have configured Software Restriction Policies so that "Disallowed" is the default security level. I also have Path Rules defined so that software in C:Program Files, C:Program Files (x86), and C:Windows can execute. I also want it to apply to only my limited user account, so it is configured for "All users except local administrators".But it is still affecting my admin account. When I'm logged in as my admin user and I try to run any executable file in the C:UsersadminDownloads directory, I get a popup saying "This program is blocked by group policy."why the Software Restrictions Policies are affecting my admin account even though it is set to "All users except local administrators"?
My grandson is using my HP laptop, with Windows 7 64 bit. I am trying to set up Parental Controls and have set up a standard user account for him. However, there is no pane for the User Controls when I click on his account in Control Panel>User Accounts and Family Safety>Parental Controls, it tries to set up Windows Family Safety instead (and fails). I presume I need to set up parental controls first, so does anyone know how I can make it access the User Controls? I can't find any help, especially not on Microsoft sites which merely presume that you can access the controls.
I was fiddling around with parental controls on my own computer seeing as how I thought it would be a good way to limit myself after school forcing me to do my homework/read/study.I made a new standard user account to see how it would work. Shortly after, I made the standard account an administrative account and put parental controls time limit options on my old original administrative account. I changed my mind shortly after this, and as I remember I deleted the standard account, and turned off parental controls on my original account.The next day, I come back home and I can't login because of parental controls. This is the only user account on the computer, and it is a full administrative account. How do I turn this off without having the ability to even get on window's itself? I'm on Windows 7, using Windows's Parental Controls.
I have parental controls set up to lock my son's user account after a certain time of day. the trouble is, when he's on the computer, then leaves, and I come in later, his profile is locked but not logged out. I can't get in to his profile to log him out, of course, unless I disable the parental controls first. How can I force another user to log out from my profile?
I've tried loading media center but when I do I get the message "Windows cannot open this program because it has been prevented by a software restriction policy. For more information, contact your system administrator." The computer is my home PC, I am the only administrator... I'm assuming one of the programs my buddy put on my computer is stopping the program from running. He said the programs would make my computer run better. I had to manually turn on windows media center before from my control panel before. I also tried running the program as admin or even finding the ehshell.exe and running it from their.
