Unable to make changes to parental controls
"""""""
With my limited knowledge, I have only one trump card left. I'm gong to
show you how to enable the Real Built-in Administrator, then login to
that account and see if you can set up the parental controls.
1.) open Start menu, type cmd in the search box
2.) look up to the top of the left panel, you'll see cmd , Right click
on it
3.) click RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR , click Continue if a prompt appears
4.) a black & white screen will appear, type in the following :
net_user_administrator_/active:yes
( note : the sign " _ " represents a space between words )
5.) press ENTER key from your keyboard. The b/w screen will indicate if
the command is successful or not. If yes, close the b/w command prompt.
If not try again and careful with typo/spacing.
6.) Log-off. Your screen will show 3 accounts. The "real" acct, yours,
and your daughter's
7.) login to the "real" account. The system will start setting up the
desktop for the account. After that , try do what you wanted to do all
these time.
Caustion : a) should you decide to keep that account, make sure to
create a password for it.
b) should you decide to get rid of it, repeat the procedures EXCEPT in
step 4.) type net user administrator /active:no
Please let me know if it's ok this time. Good luck."""""
I tried this and it tells me "system error 5 has occurred. Access is
denied." First off though, when I right click in the box that opens up
after searching for CMD, there is no option to "run as administrator".
Let me tell you about my issues with parental controls.
I have been able to restrict to only website on their logon, however, I
want to restrict all programs except internet explorer so all they can
do is use the one website and not change any settings or gain access to
other programs.
I can get into the Parental Control panel, then it allows me to get
into the user controls for the different names. Then I can change the
Windows Vista Web Filter. However, whenever I click on "allow or block
specific programs", I get the following message "unable to make changes
to parental controls settings. If this problem persists, see your system
administrator".
Any ideas?
